Light Duty Classification Sample Clauses

The Light Duty Classification clause defines the criteria and procedures for assigning employees to less physically demanding tasks when they are temporarily unable to perform their regular duties due to injury or medical restrictions. Typically, this clause outlines the process for evaluating an employee's capabilities, the types of alternative work that may be offered, and the duration for which light duty assignments are available.
