Modified Work Program. The parties are dedicated to finding a suitable work environment for Employees as soon as possible after an injury or illness. Should an Employee suffer an injury or illness resulting in time off for an extended period of time, the parties will make reasonable attempts to place them in a suitable work environment to assist in their recovery efforts. Should sufficient medical information establish that an Employee is in need of modified duties, all parties must work together in a cooperative manner to consider potential options for accommodation, in accordance with the requirements of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act and the Human Rights Code, and to establish a safe and early return to work plan. An Employee who becomes medically restricted as a result of an injury or illness shall be placed in his job classification if he is capable of performing it with reasonable accommodation. If he is not capable of performing the work in his job with reasonable accommodation, he may be placed in another equal or lower job classification for which he is capable of performing the work, consistent with any restrictions he may have, seniority permitting.
