LIMITED DUTY ACCOMMODATIONS Sample Clauses

LIMITED DUTY ACCOMMODATIONS. SECTION 1. An employee who is temporarily incapable of fully performing the essential functions of his/her position may request a temporary period of limited/light/restricted duty by submitting medical certification defining the nature and anticipated duration of the limited/light/restricted duty. The employee’s medical certificate must indicate that the employee is fit to work, but is temporarily unable to fully perform all the duties and responsibilities of his/her official position (e.g., because of clearly documented medical limitations, the employee is only capable of performing some of his/her official duties and/or for only a portion of the full work day/work week). The Employer agrees, in accordance with applicable regulations, workload, and staffing limitations, to make every reasonable effort to place the employee in his/her own modified or other suitable position. Telework may be a suitable option to consider for temporary, limited-duty accommodation and may be considered on a case-by-case basis. SECTION 2. When appropriate medical documentation indicates a temporary condition as set forth above with an extended inability to perform (not expected to be corrected within 30 calendar days of limited duty assignment), the employee may request an extension of light/limited/restricted duty, sick leave, FMLA or extended LWOP. SECTION 3. When medical evidence indicates a permanent or long-term (12 months or more, or indefinite) disability, the employee may file for disability retirement, request reassignment, retire, or resign, etc., looking toward effecting a long-term or permanent official action in his/her case.
