Modified Duty. When an employee cannot perform the full range of duties of the classification as a result of an illness or injury, such employee may be assigned modified duty if reasonable accommodation can be made. Modified duty may be assigned after medical release by a City-designated physician that indicates the employee's work restrictions.
Modified Duty. It is advantageous to City operations in certain circumstances to allow employees who are unable to perform their full duties, due to a non-work related illness or injury, to return to work on a modified duty basis. The City has a policy of allowing such modified duty when the employee can perform a substantial portion of their normal duties, the work to be performed is befitting of their pay grade, and the work benefits the City. The City interprets “substantial portion of their normal duties” to include work that the employee is qualified to perform, that is deemed necessary by the Fire Chief, that must be performed in a timely fashion, and to which the department has limited resources to commit. Under normal circumstances, such modified duty shall not be assigned for a period exceeding 80 hours per injury or illness. The City may extend modified duty beyond 80 hours at its sole discretion. The Fire Chief’s decision as to whether appropriate light duty is available in the department and its duration is not grievable. Human Resources Department’s review and final determination by the City as to whether or not the light duty submitted by the Fire Chief meets the standards of the policy, is grievable under the contract. Any employee approved for modified duty shall be transferred to day shift for the duration of their modified duty assignment, and such transfer will not be subject to the notice provisions of Article VII.
Modified Duty. The purpose of modified duty is to facilitate the early return to work for those employees recovering from an illness or injury. Modified duty applies only to those employees who are expected to return to full duty in their previously held position. In the event that an officer is deemed incapable of performing the full range of police duties on the basis of a documented, temporary medical restriction, he/she may, at the discretion of the Employer as provided herein, be placed on modified duty status, provided a suitable assignment is available. Upon being placed on modified duty status, an officer will be assigned duties as limited by the medical restriction(s) imposed. Employees on modified duty status will not be required to report to work in uniform unless a determination is made by the Associate Vice President, Human Resources or designee, in consultation with the Chief and with the employee, that reporting in uniform is appropriate. The Chief may, on a case by case basis, suspend an officer's law enforcement authority during any period of modified duty. Modified duty assignments must be compatible with an employee's medical restrictions and are intended to support the employee's prompt return to full duty. Modified duty status assignments are temporary duty assignments for temporary conditions. The Department and University do not have and will not create permanent modified duty assignments. An employee on modified duty will not be assigned to perform duties of a level higher than the employee's regular classification. Modified duty employees may experience some temporary changes from their regular assignments in the areas of daily work hours, scheduled shifts, regular days off and holiday leave. Modified duty assignment will not alter the employee's bi-weekly salary but may affect shift differential pay. The modified duty assignment will be evaluated periodically and may be adjusted based upon the employee's medical progress. Modified duty assignments are not restricted to the employee's Department. In the event a modified duty assignment must be made outside the Police Department, the Employer will attempt to place the employee in a position which effectively utilizes the employee's knowledge, skills, and abilities. Employees on modified duty who need to be absent from work due to related or unrelated medical appointments will have those absences charged to sick leave, accident leave, or other appropriate leave balances.

Modified Duty. When an employee is injured on the job and, according to their physician, is able to return to "light duty," the City will make every effort to place the employee in a modified duty assignment until he or she is released back to full duty. The nature of the assignment will depend on the physical restrictions of the employee as stated by the treating physician and the availability of a modified position in the employee’s normal department or another department that is consistent with the physical restrictions. Notwithstanding the above, the acceptance of a modified duty assignment, if available, will be mandatory.
