<br />18.2.3 <br /> <br />18.2.4 <br /> <br />18.2.5 <br /> <br />6.10 <br />Page 42 <br /> <br />For employees whose limited duty arrangement calls for less than <br />the regular number of hours worked per payroll period, the hours <br />actually worked will be shown as regular time on the time card, <br />and the remaining hours (the difference between hours actually <br />worked and hours normally scheduled) charged to the approprIate <br />leave. For persons expected to be on a less-than-normal schedule <br />for more than thirty (30) days, the department will initiate a <br />personnel action form adjusting accrual rates of such work <br />schedule-related benefits as vacation and sick leave. When the <br />individual returns to his/her regular work schedule, the department <br />will initiate another personnel action form to return accrual rates to <br />normal; however, there will be no adjustment of balances as a <br />result of an accrual rate change. <br /> <br />The duty limitations specified by the treating physician must be <br />strictly adhered to when making work assignments. As appropriate, <br />suggested assignments might inClude performing tire inspections <br />and routine maintenance, compiling data and statistics, organizing <br />training programs and evolutions, and the like. <br /> <br />Limited duty assignments should be such that there is minimum <br />risk of further injury or aggravation. <br /> <br />18.3 Limited Duty Work During Pregnancy <br /> <br />18.3.1 <br /> <br />18.3.2 <br /> <br />An employee who is pregnant shall report her condition immediately <br />after diagnosis is made to the on-duty Battalion Chief. If the <br />diagnosis has not been certified by a physicIan, the employee has <br />thirty (30) days to provide the department wIth a medical diagnosis. <br /> <br />In the instance that pregnancy is confirmed, the employee has the <br />following options: <br /> <br />18.3.2.1 <br /> <br />The employee may work light duty if her attending <br />physician determines light duty to be appropriate, or <br />if the employee so desires. If the attending <br />physician recommends light duty the employee will <br />need to have her physician fill out a work status <br />report. It is the employee's responsibility to insure <br />that the work status report is completed by the <br />physician and returned promptly to the shift Battalion <br />Chief. <br /> <br />18.3.2.2 <br /> <br />The employee may use earned sick leave in <br />accordance with Section 18.9, or earned vacation <br />leave if her physician certifies that she is unable to <br />perform her full or light duty work. <br /> <br />35 <br />
