SECTION 19. SAFETY Each employee covered by this MOU agrees to comply with all safety rules and regulations in effect and any subsequent rules and regulations that may be adopted. Employees further agree that they will report all accidents and safety hazards to the appropriate management official immediately. Any employee having knowledge of or who is a witness to an accident shall, if requested, give full and truthful testimony as to same. SECTION 20. LIMITED DUTY WORK 20.1 An injured employee who is receiving medical attention for an alleged industrial injury, and who is determined to be temporarily disabled, is required to return to the department after initial treatment a medical report indicating that, if any, limited duty the employee can perform. If none, the report should so indicate. The department routinely requires periodic updating reports and these should also contain this information. 20.2 An employee on extended sick leave is likewise required to provide these periodic reports which should also contain limited duty information. 20.3 For employees whose limited duty arrangement calls for less than the regular number of hours worked per payroll period, the hours actually worked will be shown as regular time on the time card and the remaining hours (the difference between hours actually worked and hours normally scheduled) charged to the appropriate leave. For persons expected to be on a less -than -normal schedule for more than thirty (30) days, the department will initiate a personnel action form adjusting accrual rates of such work scheduled -related benefits as vacation, sick leave or industrial disability as set forth in Section 9. When the individual returns to his or her regular work schedule, the department will initiate another personnel action form to return accrual rates to normal; however, there will be no adjustment of balances as a result of an accrual rate change. 20.4 The duty limitations specified by the treating physician must be strictly adhered to when making work assignments. 20.5 Limited -duty assignments should be such that there is minimum risk of further injury or aggravation.
