CMP.6.6.070 Return to Work

Positions will be held for an Employee with legitimate compensable injury or illness for up to three (3) months for the return of the Employee. The Employer, at the end of three (3) months, can reassess the Employee's position and may fill that position with a permanent replacement Employee. Prior to return to work, the Employee must be cleared for return to work through the primary physician or approved Medical Provider, and a completed Report of Work Ability form must be submitted as set forth in Section CMP.6.4.020 of this Ordinance.

The Employer will make every effort to provide light duty and modified work to the injured Employee after the injured employee has sought medical treatment and has provided the Employer with the appropriate Return to Work Restrictions paperwork. If an injured Employee refuses the light duty or modified work position offered by the Employer, all medical and other benefits will cease immediately. Light duties will be facilitated through the Employer when deemed appropriate by the Claims Administrator/Managed Care Provider.
