Rehabilitation Program. The company agrees to the implementation of an agreed worker’s compensation rehabilitation policy. The operation of this policy shall be reviewed on a regular basis. The parties commit to ensuring that the rehabilitation of injured workers is an accepted practice, and that suitable duties are provided when available. No employee will be terminated whilst on workers compensation during the first 12 months without prior consultation with the union. The parties agree that the person responsible for the management of rehabilitation cases must be adequately trained to do the job. If such a person is not available within the company, then the services of an agreed building industry rehabilitation coordination service will be used. The parties to this Agreement shall ensure that any employee who sustains a work related injury, illness or disease, will be afforded every assistance in utilising a rehabilitation program aimed at returning that employee to meaningful employment within the industry.
Rehabilitation Program. Where an employee on Group Insurance, L.T.D. or W.C.B. benefits is disabled from performing his/her usual job, but may be able to perform other jobs covered by this Agreement, the Union and the Employer agree to co-operate to facilitate a change in classifications or jobs. The Employer and the Union mutually agree to co-operate with the Workers' Compensation Board or any other agency in efforts to rehabilitate an injured worker. Where reentry into the Contract Area is not possible because of permanent disability, the parties agree to co-operate to retrain an injured worker.
Rehabilitation Program. If the tested employee is referred on to rehabilitation or treatment, the MRO is authorized to communicate specific results to the Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) or counselor overseeing the employee’s treatment program.
Rehabilitation Program. In the case of employees on a W.C.B. Rehabilitation Program covered by Section 14.06 (A), the Employer agrees to maintain benefits for the term of rehabilitation at the level existing at the date of injury to a maximum of a three (3) month period in addition to the six (6) months set out above in Section 14.05. At the end of this maintenance period, benefits shall be determined by hours worked. This benefit maintenance shall not apply to an employee who is being retrained for a job outside any of the Contract Area.
Rehabilitation Program. Termination of the employee will result if he/she refuses to participate in or to complete such program.
Rehabilitation Program. Any employee who tests positive for illegal drugs or alcohol, shall be medically evaluated, counseled and referred for rehabilitation as recommended by the EAP Counselor (The EAP Program selected for use in conjunction with this policy will be one agreed to by the employer and the union. It is anticipated that a specific EAP/drug alcohol counselor will be selected and named in this policy.) Employees who successfully complete a rehabilitation program will be retested once every quarter for the following twenty-four (24) months. An employee may voluntarily contact the EAP Counselor and/or may voluntarily enter rehabilitation without having previously tested positive. Employees who enter a rehabilitation program on their own initiative shall not be subject to retesting as outlined above. Employees covered by this policy will be allowed to use their accrued and earned annual leave and/or sick leave for the necessary time off involved in the rehabilitation program. If an employee, subject to retesting, tests positive during the twenty-four (24) month period, they shall be subject to disciplinary action as per the Department Rules and Regulations and/or Memorandum of Understanding. Any employee testing positive during the twenty-four (24) month period shall be re-evaluated by the E.A.P. counselor to determine if the employee requires additional counseling and/or treatment. The employee must participate in any additional rehabilitation and/or counseling as directed by the E.A.P. counselor. Subsequent to completion of additional counseling and/or treatment, the employee will again be subject to random retesting for a twenty-four (24) month period. If an employee tests positive during this subsequent twenty-four (24) month period, the employee will be subject to discipline as per the Department Rules and Regulations and/or Memorandum of Understanding.

Where an employee on Group Insurance, LTD or WCB benefits is disabled from performing his/her usual job, but may be able to perform other jobs covered by this Agreement, the Union and the Employer agree to co-operate to facilitate a change in classifications or jobs. The Employer and the Union mutually agree to co-operate with the Workers' Compensation Board or any other agency in efforts to rehabilitate an injured worker. Where reentry into the Bargaining Unit is not possible because of permanent disability, the parties agree to co-operate to retrain an injured worker.
Rehabilitation Program. 1. Under this program, any employee may volunteer to enter a drug education/rehabilitation program prior to the random test or prior to being notified that he/she will be tested. With regard to marijuana use, this program will require the individual to participate in a City approved/supervised drug education program as directed by the City, followed by unannounced periodic testing for drugs. With regard to drugs or controlled substances other than marijuana, this program will require the individual's enrollment in a City approved/supervised in-patient treatment facility, followed by participation in a City approved/supervised out-patient treatment program as directed by the City. Participants in both the rehabilitation/treatment program and the education program will be subject to unannounced periodic testing for drugs for a period of town (2) years. Any further use of any controlled substance under any circumstances may thereafter result in the employee's suspension and dismissal from the City. Furthermore, the failure to fully participate in and/or successfully complete the prescribed education or rehabilitation and follow-up program may constitute grounds for dismissal.
2. The drug education program and in-patient treatment referred to in this Section shall be paid for by the employee, subject to the City provided insurance program including out-patient treatment.
3. Employees will be allowed to use accrued sick leave benefits until such time as the City, based upon medical evidence, determines that they are capable of returning to active duty. Time spent on out-patient treatment after an employee is reinstated shall be on the employee's own time. Successful completion of the prescribed treatment program and certification by a physician, designated by the City, are required prior to returning to active duty. Participation in the rehabilitation program requires the employee to sign an authorization for release of medical records.
