LIGHT DUTY PROGRAM. During the 2000 negotiations, the Company and IBEW created a Light Duty Program to address temporary modified duty (TMD) for IBEW employees. The aspects of this Program are summarized below: When an Electrician is unable to properly and safely perform all the duties of his current classification as a result of returning to work with a physical restriction, he must submit to the Human Resources Department a medical statement detailing his physical limitations. After input from the employee and the IBEW, the Company will decide which of the following temporary positions, within his medical restrictions / physical abilities and on his existing shift, he will be assigned to in accommodating his temporary modified duty (TMD). The activities assigned must be within the electrical classification and will be normal day to day tasks. Examples of day to day tasks: bench work (numerical control, motor pool) parts crib IBEW documentation (prints, manuals, etc. computer entries electrical work within restriction training (giving and/or receiving) safety activities preventative maintenance overtime solicitation battery Shop Any employee working with a physical restriction shall be required to submit medical proof of his continued disability every thirty (30) days to maintain his status. Any exception to this thirty (30) day requirement must be by mutual agreement between the Company and the IBEW. A temporary modified duty (TMD) job is a job which an Electrician can properly and safely perform within his medical restrictions / physical abilities. Assignments to administrative office work are temporary in nature and are not subject to becoming IBEW bargaining unit jobs in the future. Employees on temporary modified duty (TMD) who may have situations which necessitate them leaving work during their shift due to medical circumstances, rehabilitation, etc. will be dealt with on a case by case basis with Human Resources and Newark’s Medical Department. Electricians returned to temporary modified duty (TMD) may work overtime on jobs in their classification provided their restriction allows them to perform all functions of the job being offered. If they cannot perform all functions of the job being offered, they must sign not qualified due to their restrictions and they will be charged.
