Modified Work (Light Duty). a. The University may, at its discretion, establish a temporary modified work program for employees who are unable to perform their normal work due to a disabling on-the-job injury. Employees who fail to accept a modified work assignment which has been deemed acceptable in light of the employee’s restrictions by attending physicians, may compromise continuance of workers’ compensation payments. Employee light duty assignments, when offered, shall be tendered to the employee in advance with a set work schedule within the guidelines of the attending physician. Such schedules shall be reviewed and approved by the attending physician in advance of the assignments. Light duty assignments, to the extent practicable, shall normally be developed to provide employees with their normal shift hours unless that is not possible due to restrictions in such hours made by the attending physician.
