Modified Duty. When employees suffer work-related or non work-related injuries, unless the treating physician provides a full release from work, the employees may be considered eligible for a temporary modified or light-duty assignment to minimize lost time and to serve to facilitate the transition back to the employee’s regular duties or full-time work. Modified or light-duty assignments shall be designed to accommodate medical restrictions specified by the employee’s physician and may include work in the same job classification or a different job classification at the employee’s regular salary rate. These assignments are intended to address short-term medical restrictions. The duration of the assignment shall be determined by the District’s Return-to-Work Program with the District’s Workers’ Compensation provider. These assignments shall not be used as a means to establish new assignments or displace other employees. In the event the unit member believes the alternate work duties are not appropriate, the unit member will contact Human Resources, at which time the unit member will be informed by Human Resources of their right to Federation representation and a meeting will be scheduled.
