Common use of Modified Work Program Clause in Contracts

Modified Work Program. When a unit member with an industrial accident or injury is determined by the responsible physician to be able to return to work with restrictions, the following shall occur: 13.4.13.1 A conference will be held to include the unit member, the unit member's supervisor and a representative of the Risk Management Office to determine if the unit member can return to their regular job within the restrictions. A CSEA representative shall be present if requested by the unit member. 13.4.13.2 If it is determined that the unit member cannot perform their regular assignment, consideration will be given to a modified position within the restrictions at the regular worksite, which the unit member could fill on a temporary basis. 13.4.13.3 Should no appropriate assignment be available at the unit member's regular worksite, a temporary assignment within the restrictions will be identified elsewhere in the District for the unit member. The unit member shall be entitled to twenty-four (24) hours’ notice prior to beginning an assignment. A different assignment on the following workday would only require notification prior to the end of the current workday. 13.4.13.4 Refusal of an assignment within the physician's restrictions will stop leave eligibility, if the assignment is the same number of hours as the unit member's normal assigned hours. 13.4.13.5 The unit member shall not be required to work a temporary assignment if it is for less than the unit member's regular assigned workday. 13.4.13.6 The unit member shall be paid the same rate of pay as though the unit member was working the unit member's normal assignment.
