Common use of Return to Regular Duty With or Without Restrictions Clause in Contracts

Return to Regular Duty With or Without Restrictions. An injured worker who has been released by the attending physician to return to regular duty may demand reinstatement to his/her former position or reemployment to an available, suitable position as provided in Department of Administrative Services Statewide Policy #50.020.03 - Reinstatement and Reemployment of Injured Workers. Certification by the attending physician that the physician releases the employee to return to his/her regular employment shall be prima facie evidence that the employee should be able to perform such duties without restrictions or with specified restrictions on a permanent basis. This does not, however, preclude the Employer from obtaining further information relative to the employee's condition. Employees changing their work assignments under the provisions of this Section are not subject to Lateral Transfers or Promotions procedures. The Association shall be notified of such transfers.
