040 <br />I~ <br />COUNTY OF LEE - PERSONNEL POLICY <br />Last Published Date: 07-01.2006 <br />coUgT <br />Transitional Duty Policy <br />f <br />* III®~~ <br />y <br />n $e <br />Number: J-34 <br />Revision: 0 <br />Effective Date: <br />Pages: 5 <br />o <br />0 GARp4~ <br />07-19-2010 <br />1.0 POLICY <br />It is the policy of Lee County to effectively manage workers compensation losses and <br />invoke cost containment measures for workers compensation claims while maintaining <br />the working status of our employees. <br />The aim of this program is to provide employment after the onset of a work related <br />injury, accident, or illness; allowing for reasonable accommodations and/or alternative <br />positions within the county based upon any restrictions established by the Authorized <br />Medical Provider. Transitional duty is a temporary accommodation. The Transitional <br />Duty Program also fosters compliance with the American's With Disabilities Act and <br />• associated guidelines through a partnership including the disabled employees, medical <br />providers and risk management working toward the common goal of expediting the <br />employees return to physical and psychological well-being. <br />Our goal is to return all employees if possible to their original employment classifications <br />within the timeframe of the program. If the injured worker is not able to return to his/her <br />original position, an alternative assignment may be pursued. <br />2.0 DEFINITIONS <br />2.1 Transitional Duty: A temporary work assignment designed to meet the employee's <br />physical work restrictions during a period of recovery from a work-related injury or work <br />related illness. The assignment may or may not be in the employee's regular <br />department. This goal of the temporary work assignment is to progress an employee <br />back into a permanent position. The goal is to return the injured employee to his/ her <br />regular full-duty job as soon as medically approved and allow the employee to remain <br />gainfully employed during the recovery period <br />2.2 Temporary Period of Work Restriction: A work restriction that is anticipated to last no <br />longer than ninety (90) calendar days. <br />0 <br />
