<br /> 20.2.4 In the event that a worker becomes medically restricted due to an <br /> industrial injury or illness, and unable to perform the full scope of <br /> his/her regular job, the "home" department shall make a <br /> determination when the worker may return to work and under what <br /> circumstances. The options for the department are: <br /> 1) Temporary Light Duty <br /> If, in the opinion of the physician treating a worker for a work <br /> related injury (not the worker's personal physician per se), <br /> the worker has significant medical restrictions but may <br /> perform some limited work, the "home" department may <br /> assign the worker to Temporary Light Duty for a period not <br /> to exceed 90 calendar days. The worker shall be <br /> temporarily reassigned to another work unit within the <br /> department. If the "home" department does not have <br /> Temporary Light Duty work available at that time, the <br /> department will contact other City departments to ascertain if <br /> such work is available. If so, the worker may be temporarily <br /> reassigned to that department. The total time assigned to <br /> Temporary Light Duty shall not exceed 90 calendar days, <br /> unless extended on an individual case-by-case basis. <br /> 2) Modified Work Assignment <br /> If, in the opinion of the worker's doctor(s) the worker has <br /> some medical restrictions but is able to perform most of <br /> his/her regularly assigned work, the worker's supervisor may <br /> modify the daily work assignment pursuant to the medical <br /> restrictions and shall monitor closely the worker's recovery <br /> progress. The total time assigned to modified work shall not <br /> exceed 90 calendar days, unless extended on an individual <br /> 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 <br /> City, that worker shall, upon request, be granted such time off with <br /> pay, not to exceed three (3) regularly scheduled working days or <br /> four (4) days in the event the funeral is 300 or more miles from the <br /> City. <br /> 20.3.2 For the purpose of this provision, the immediate family shall be <br /> restricted to father, mother, brother, sister, spouse, child, half <br /> 33 <br />
