Return to Work Programs. Rehabilitative employment is considered a viable method of returning employees to the workforce following illness or injury, subject to appropriate medical approval and employee’s work restrictions. If the rehabilitative employment would result in the assignment of an employee to a classification represented by another Union it will require the prior approval of such Union. Such assignments are not expected to exceed six (6) months, and will not result in a change in the employee’s basic classification. However, where an employee is no longer able, for medical reasons, to perform duties of the employee’s position the Company in consultation with the Union, will endeavour to find alternative employment for which the employee is qualified, or could perform with limited retraining.
