Common use of Temporary Limited Duty Clause in Contracts

Temporary Limited Duty. The Employer shall offer temporary limited duty assignments to employees when an employee is unable to perform the essential functions of their regular position because of a medical condition(s), and if the Chief determines that appropriate bargaining unit work is available. Employees on temporary limited duty assignments may be permitted to use the Employer’s vehicle for commuting purposes. Temporary limited duty assignments shall not require a change in residence and all travel time associated with a temporary limited duty assignment shall be at the expense of the Employer, when the employee’s regular duty assignment includes commute time. The Employer, by its sole determination, may allow the employee to wear their badge and gun, depending upon the duty limitation. That determination is not subject to the grievance procedure. If the employee on temporary limited duty does not improve to a point that permits a return to full duty, or the employee has been on temporary limited duty status for one year, the employer and the employee will engage in the long term limited duty process. After one year of temporary limited duty an employee may request a six- month extension through their District Captain or Division Commander to the Technical Services Bureau Assistant Chief. The TSB Assistant Chief shall review the employee’s status to determine if a six-month temporary limited duty extension is warranted based on medical necessity. The employee will continue working under the conditions of their temporary limited duty assignment if a six-month extension is granted by the TSB Assistant Chief.
