Restricted Duty. An employee who is absent from duty due to work-related injury or occupational disease of a temporary nature may be returned to work to perform restricted duty, if available, for a period of no more than ninety (90) days for the purpose of transitioning back to full duty. Restricted duty is any job, work assignment or duty that an employee, limited from their regular assignment is qualified for and physically and mentally capable of performing. Restricted duty assignments are made solely at the discretion of Management. An employee’s work restriction will be based on the advice of the attending physician and/or Independent Medical Examiner (IME). While on restricted duty, an employee will earn their regular hourly rate of pay. Upon review by Management, an employee’s restricted duty assignment may be extended in additional thirty (30) day increments provided that the employee is showing progress in their recovery pursuant to the medical information provided by the medical provider. Placement of employees made pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall supersede any other transfer rights under this Agreement for the duration of the restricted duty.
