Transitional Duty for Occupational Injury. The Company will offer Transitional Duty to employees who experience an occupational injury and are released to restricted duty. An employee’s refusal of Transitional Duty will result in the loss of salary continuation and, to the extent permitted by law, loss of his/her indemnity benefits. Transitional Duty will last a maximum of eight (8) weeks. Employees on Transitional Duty will be allowed to work partial days in four (4) hour increments or greater up to their scheduled shift, subject to their restrictions. Employees on Transitional Duty will not be eligible for overtime or shift/day trades. The Company will consult with the treating physician in regard to transition work available for occupational injuries to assure that the work will not aggravate the injury further or put the employee at an undue safety risk.
