~ed so that employees are not placed in a duty status that
;gravate or reincur an injury or illness. Light duty
assignments will not be made unless the employee receives medical
clearance from the treating physician to return for light duty.
This program shall be coordinated with applicable workers
compensation benefits so that benefits are provided at the level

Light duty assignments may be made following evaluation
and determination by the department head. The determin-
ation will be based on available medical information,
and consultation with the employee or the affected
supervisor. Determinations will also be based on the
needs of the City and the impact of light duty on
departmental operations.
The evaluation and determination of light duty
assignments may be initiated by the department head or
at the request of the employee or the affected
supervisor.
After the initial report, updated medical reports shall
be submitted to the department head at two week
intervals, or at other agreed upon intervals, for as
long as the employee is off work. Reports will be
required for all industrial or non-industrial injuries
or illnesses regardless of whether or not a light duty
assignment has been made.
Reports will be evaluated by the department head for
purposes of continuing or terminating a current light
duty assignment or to determine when to commence a light
duty assignment.

hours, limited work or any combination thereof.

Ce

consistent with the duties of the employee's
classification.
De
Ee
When feasible, light duty assignments will be during the
employee's normal shift and duty hours. However, if it
is determined that no useful work will be performed
during the normal shift or duty hours, the employee will
be assigned light duty during normal office hours of
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Specific light duty assignments will be developed, based
on a case by case review of the medical restrictions, so
