Health - Employee Work Restriction The Union recognizes and agrees that the District has a managerial obligation and right to review medical reports on employees sustaining illness or injuries, either on or off the job, to determine the employee's physical ability to fulfill the tasks normally assigned to the classification and for which the employee was hired. The Personnel Services Department shall make available a form. Bargaining unit employees shall submit this form for medical clearance for illnesses or injuries. The signature of a physician approved by the District will be required. This form will either include, or have attached, a classification description or duty statement to assist the physician in arriving at a decision as to the employee's physical ability to perform assigned tasks. It is understood by the Union that it is a managerial obligation and right to refuse reemployment of a bargaining unit member who has work restrictions as outlined by a physician and who cannot physically or mentally perform the job for which originally hired. It is understood by the Union that it is a managerial obligation and right to involuntarily assign a bargaining unit member to sick leave when a physician documents that the employee is physically or mentally unable to perform completely in the classification for which hired. If a bargaining unit member is placed on involuntary sick leave, the District shall, at the employee's request, bear the cost of a second medical opinion in regard to the employee's physical or mental ability to completely perform the assigned duties. The employee is limited in choice of physicians to one who conducts business within Los Angeles County.
