Limited Duty Requirements. a. Limited Duty assignments may last as long as ninety (90) days. In addition, thirty (30) day extensions may be allowed with the treating and/or consulting doctor's approval and mutual agreement between the Company and the Union. b. An employee whose restrictions are not removed and is not granted an extension will be returned to either Non-Occupational Sick Time Pay, Occupational Injury Pay or EIS status. c. Employee participation in Limited Duty is mandatory, if the treating and/or consulting physician releases the employee for Limited Duty. d. Once the treating and/or consulting physician issues a full release, an employee on Limited Duty must return to his normal job duties immediately. e. An employee who has incurred a permanent disability will receive consideration for return to duty in accordance with the Company's policies regarding reasonable accommodation for handicapped individuals. That is, an employee who has suffered an occupational injury and has medical restrictions defined as permanent and stationary, but remains unable to perform his normal duties, will be given consideration for other work that does not exceed the restrictions, to the extent it is available and he is qualified to perform such work. Once a limitation defined as permanent and stationary is recognized by the Worker's Compensation Board, that determination cannot be changed unless the Company elects in its discretion to accept the diagnosis of another physician.
