20.2.4 In the event that a worker becomes medically restricted due to an industrial injury or illness, and <br /> unable to perform the full scope of his/her regular job, the "home" department shall make a <br /> determination when the worker may return to work and under what circumstances. The options for <br /> the department are: <br /> 1) Temporary Light Duty <br /> If, in the opinion of the physician treating a worker for a work related injury (not the <br /> worker's personal physician per se), the worker has significant medical restrictions but <br /> may perform some limited work, the "home" department may assign the worker to <br /> Temporary Light Duty for a period not to exceed 90 calendar days. The worker shall be <br /> temporarily reassigned to another work unit within the department. If the "home" <br /> department does not have Temporary Light Duty work available at that time, the <br /> department will contact other City departments to ascertain if such work is available. If so, <br /> the worker may be temporarily reassigned to that department. The total time assigned to <br /> Temporary Light Duty shall not exceed 90 calendar days, unless extended on an <br /> individual case-by-case basis. <br /> 2) Modified Work Assignment <br /> If, in the opinion of the worker's doctor(s) the worker has some medical restrictions but is <br /> able to perform most of his/her regularly assigned work, the worker's supervisor may <br /> modify the daily work assignment pursuant to the medical restrictions and shall monitor <br /> closely the worker's recovery progress. The total time assigned to modified work shall not <br /> exceed 90 calendar days, unless extended on an individual case-by-case basis. <br /> 20.3 Bereavement Leave <br /> 20.3.1 In the event of a death in the immediate family of a worker of the City, that worker shall, upon <br /> request, be granted such time off with pay, not to exceed three (3) regularly scheduled working <br /> days or four(4)days in the event the funeral is 300 or more miles from the City. <br /> 20.3.2 For the purpose of this provision, the immediate family shall be restricted to father, mother, brother, <br /> sister, spouse, child, half-brother, half-sister, step brother, step sister, mother-in-law, father-in-law, <br /> grandparent, grandchild, and stepfather, stepmother, stepchild in those cases where direct child <br /> rearing-parental relationship may be demonstrated to have existed and domestic partner. <br /> 20.3.3 In the event of the death of an active City worker, the City will excuse (without loss of pay) those <br /> workers who wish to attend the locally conducted funeral only to the extent it does not interfere with <br /> the operation of the City. <br /> 20.4 Military Leave <br /> The provisions of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and the <br /> Military and Veterans Code of the State of California shall govern the granting of military leaves of absence <br /> and the rights of workers returning from such leaves. <br /> 20.5 Parental Leave of Absence Without Pay <br /> 20.5.1 A worker is entitled to California Family Rights Act(CFRA) bonding leave in accordance with legal <br /> 33 <br />
