Common use of Temporary Restricted Duty Clause in Contracts

Temporary Restricted Duty. An employee with a non-work related injury may submit a written request to the Public Safety Director or designee, for a “temporary restricted duty” position for a term up to 180 days provided the employee is released to return to work by a physician, with a description of the work restrictions. The City may require the employee to be examined by a City physician. A request for a “temporary restricted duty” position does not guarantee accommodation. Employees will be accommodated in their respective division of assignment, if such accommodation is available. The Public Safety Director shall determine the availability of work that may be performed by employees on “temporary restricted duty”. The City is not required to create a “temporary restricted duty” position, provide training or create work to accommodate a request for a “temporary restricted duty” position. An employee requiring a “light duty” position shall have priority for accommodation over an employee requesting a “temporary restricted duty” position. Requests for “temporary restricted duty” positions shall be accommodated on a seniority basis. If after 180 calendar days of “temporary restricted duty”, the employee is unable to return to work, without restrictions, the employee may use sick leave, or other accumulated leave until such time all leave is exhausted.
