MODIFIED WORK POLICY Clause Samples
A Modified Work Policy clause outlines the procedures and conditions under which an employee may be assigned alternative or adjusted duties if they are temporarily unable to perform their regular job due to injury, illness, or other limitations. Typically, this clause specifies the types of modified tasks that may be offered, the duration of such assignments, and any requirements for medical documentation or approval. Its core function is to facilitate a safe and structured return to work for employees while accommodating their temporary restrictions, thereby supporting workforce continuity and reducing the impact of absences.
MODIFIED WORK POLICY. 25.01 Prior to introducing a Modified Work Policy applicable to the employees in the Bargaining Unit, the Board will provide the Union with a reasonable opportunity to provide input into the Policy.
25.02 The Board and the Union recognize their mutual obligations under the Human Rights Code and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act to take reasonable steps to attempt to accommodate employee‟s who, because of a disability, are unable to perform the normal requirements of the job. Where appropriate medical documentation requires the temporary accommodation to include a shortened work- day, the employee may be able to access sick leave credits, if available, to avoid a reduction in salary.
25.03 Once a Policy is in place, the Board will consult with the Union prior to making any material amendments to the Policy.
