TEMPORARY MODIFIED DUTY ASSIGNMENTS. 44.1 The Department will make a good faith effort to place eligible members, who sustain a temporary injury or illness and who are thereby unable to perform the assigned functions of their regular positions, in available temporary modified duty assignments. However, no member who has sustained an industrial injury or illness shall be assigned to a temporary modified duty assignment earlier than five (5) days after diagnosis of the injury or illness. Any such assignment must be appropriate for the member’s medical restrictions, as determined by the member’s treating physician or, where appropriate, the City’s independent medical expert, and as reviewed and approved by the Department’s physician. If the Department’s physician or, where appropriate, the City's independent medical expert, determines after medical examination and/or review of medical records and upon consultation with the member’s treating physician, that the member cannot fully return to his or her regular position within one (1) year, the member is not eligible for a temporary modified duty assignment.

During this waiting period, members should use accrued sick leave, or if the member’s sick leave balance is exhausted, other approved leave. Pregnant members and members who sustain injuries or illnesses during a call into active military service as defined in the Annual Salary Ordinance are entitled to request to go on temporary modified duty without any waiting period.
44.3 Duties of the temporary modified duty assignment may differ from the member’s regular job duties and/or from the job duties regularly assigned to members in the same rank. When an appropriate temporary modified duty assignment is not available within the member’s rank, and/or on the member’s regular shift, the member may be temporarily assigned pursuant to this section to work in another rank and/or classification, and/or on a different shift, subject to the approval of the Chief of the Department or designee.
