TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT DISABILITIES. Employees who have a short-term disability will be excused from testing until such time as a physician certifies that the employee is capable of being tested. For the purposes of this Article, short term is defined as up to six (6) months. In the event the employee returns to full duty without restrictions within six (6) months, they will be tested in accordance with Section 4 of this agreement within sixty (60) days of their return to work. In the event of a long-term or permanent disability or a return to work form a short-term disability with restrictions, the timing and method of testing will be determined by the test administrator after consulting with the employee and physician. In no circumstance will a member of the Fire Department who returned to full duty not be tested during each year of this agreement.
