Common use of TRANSITIONAL WORK AND LIGHT DUTY: Clause in Contracts

TRANSITIONAL WORK AND LIGHT DUTY:. Employees injured in the line of duty may be offered by management the opportunity for transitional/light duty as indicated by their medical professional. Employees shall not be required to return to work on transitional/light duty unless and until their medical professional authorizes such a return. Employees that are medically cleared for transitional/light duty, but fail to report to work are subject to discipline for failing to report and/or may be moved from injury leave to the BWC wage loss system. Management will offer light duty to employees on a case-by-case basis with priority given to work-related injuries. Employees with non-work-related injuries may be offered light duty with consideration of: the nature of the events giving rise to the injury/illness; the medical provider’s recommendation; availability of light duty; ability to define dates, times and duration; not to conflict with physical therapy or other return-to-work process, and other performance and/or behavioral issues.
