WORK RELATED DISABILITY. Employees injured on the job will be paid in full for the day of the accident provided the attending physician advises an employee not to return to work for the balance of the day. If able to work, employees must return to their duties. Employees failing to do so will not be paid for the hours not worked. Maintenance employees requiring further medical treatment as a direct result of said accident will not lose time while receiving treatment provided the treatment requires only a nominal amount of time. Maintenance employees requiring further treatment during working hours will be reimbursed for the cost of Company approved transportation to and from the garage plus time lost for treatments. Employees on work-related disability may be required to be examined by a physician, at the request of and paid for by the Company, to substantiate such disability. Failure of employees to make themselves available for such examination, or failure to report for duty immediately after an examination which determines that an employee is fit for duty, may result in discipline up to and including termination. The Company will determine the availability of transitional duty work. If more than one transitional duty job is available, seniority will prevail. An employee who fails to report to transitional duty will be terminated. Employees on workers’ compensation who are not fit for regular duty but are fit for transitional duty must report for such duty in any position or department in which the Company offers it in the same commuting area, or, for operators, at the domicile closest to their home address, without loss of seniority. If work is not available for operators at the domicile closest to their home address, operators may choose to work at another location where transitional duty work is available, if agreed by the Company and the Union. Mechanics who are fit to work on transitional duty will work their regular shift at their home maintenance location. However, the Company may assign a transitional duty mechanic to an alternate shift if the transitional duty mechanic is the only mechanic assigned to his/her regular shift.

If they cannot or are unwilling to be accommodated, and have settled their worker’s compensation case, they will be removed from the seniority roster.
