Layoff for Medical Reasons. When employees, because of temporary illness or disability, cannot perform the duties of their job, the department may, upon appropriate medical verification, layoff those employees until they are again capable of resuming the duties. The Commission or department may require a satisfactory medical report from the employee’s health care provider before re- employment. Generally, if the period of time an employee is expected to be off the job is less than six (6) months, a leave without pay may be a more appropriate action.
Layoff for Medical Reasons. When an employee who has been found to be not medically or psychologically fit for duty has exhausted his/her eligibility for Family Medical Leave, sick leave, vacation, and compensatory time banks, the employee may be laid off for medical reasons until he/she is again capable of resuming the duties. The employee’s recall from layoff shall be governed by Section 11.3; however, the Department may require a satisfactory medical report from the City's health services provider(s) before re-employment. Generally, if the period of time an employee is expected to be off the job is less than six months, a leave without pay (Medical Leave of Absence) may be more appropriate.
