Common use of Transitional Work Program Clause in Contracts

Transitional Work Program. Transitional Work is less strenuous assignments, with no fire suppression or emergency medical duties except where an Employee is medically cleared to perform such specific duties. When an Employee, based on satisfactory medical evidence, can only perform transitional work, the Chief will assign those duties beginning immediately during the Employee’s shift or on the next scheduled shift if the release occurs outside the Employee’s regular shift. Employees medically cleared for full duty will be immediately returned to full-duty on their next regularly scheduled shift. Any disagreement about the Employee’s ability to perform duties will be resolved under the third doctor procedure in Section 33.4 (Medical Examination). Employees who work a 53-hour work week will continue to work their regularly scheduled hours while on a transitional duty assignment, except where the Employee’s schedule is modified pursuant to Section 28.4 (Change of Schedule) of this Agreement.
