LIMITED DUTY ROLLOUT

The Limited Duty rollout for Tech Ops is slated for December 6, 2021.   Workers Compensation Department  has been working diligently with senior leadership and the training for the Lost Time teams is this week.  The return to work specialists are in place and ready to go for Monday’s launch.  Several limit duty jobs have been identified throughout the base to accommodate members returning to work with restrictions.

                           ARTICLE 26 – LIMITED DUTY M&R ARTICLE 26 – LIMITED DUTY 

    1. Employees who are injured in the service of the Company or have restrictions as a result of an off the job illness or injury, after the effective date of this agreement, will  be allowed to work in accordance with the following, at their station, based on their  classification seniority:
      1. The Company will provide indefinite limited duty to employees providing that their  restrictions are  such  that they can perform substantially all the essential elements of their job.
      2. Employees who are able to perform reasonable productive work within their classification, but not substantially all the essential elements of their normal work  classification will be provided limited duty for up to ninety (90) work days for an  injury on the job or sixty (60) work days for an off the job illness or injury to the extent that there is meaningful work available. 
      3. Where the employee’s medical restrictions are such that the employee is unable  to perform reasonable work within their classification, and where the Company  determines that productive work (for which the employee is qualified) exists, then  such work may be assigned for periods not to exceed sixty (60) work days during  the recuperative process.

Holiday Coding

The window to select how you would like to take your holiday opens 21 days prior to the holiday and closes the 8th day prior. If you elect not to choose how you would like to take the holiday it will default to being paid for the day.

If you are on a bid week of vacation during a holiday, you have multiple options, but you have to let them know how you would like to take it.

Please get into the habit of going into Workbrain and selecting how you would like to have your holiday coded.
