Section 111F. An employee's return to light duty under this Agreement shall not impair any right to injured leave status if from time to time his physical incapacity prevents the performance of light duty. Similarly, any employee who sustains a physical injury or re-aggravation of his prior injury while performing light duty shall be eligible for injured leave. An officer working light duty is not an acknowledgement that he/she is capable of performing the essential functions of his/her job. For the purposes of the Article, an employee's return to unrestricted work of less than four (4) regularly scheduled consecutive tours of duty shall not constitute a break in IOD status.
Section 111F. Section 8. Disputes arising under specific language of this Agreement which add to or modify M.G.L.c.41, Section 111F, shall be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedures of this Agreement. All other disputes arising under M.G.L.c.41, Section 111F shall not be arbitrable but shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts courts.
Section 111F. If the neutral physician determines that the employee is capable of performing any light duty task(s), the employee shall report for light duty as ordered by the Chief. If the neutral physician determines that the employee is not capable of performing any light duty task, the employee shall continue on injured-on-duty status in accordance with M.G.L. c. 41, Section 111F.
Section 111F. Section 2. Members of the bargaining unit who use more than twenty-four (24) consecutive hours of sick leave or injured-on-duty leave shall not be permitted to work other outside employment while on such leave without the approval of the Fire Chief. Use of sick leave or injured-on-duty leave shall be considered to be ceased once the member of the bargaining unit returns to active work for the Halifax Fire Department.
Section 111F. E. No sick leave shall be refused for an obvious personal injury or a situation requiring non-elective surgery. If a dispute arises concerning a return date for employment, procedures set forth under Section 2B, item 2 of this Article shall be followed.
