Study Notes
Policy Series 800: Member's Health - Limited-Duty
- The policy provides guidelines for members requiring reasonable accommodations due to duty or non-duty related injuries/medical conditions or administrative reasons.
- The policy aims to provide limited-duty assignments to members, allowing them to continue serving the department and community while minimizing hardship during recovery or administrative restrictions.
Terminology
- A member's private health care provider must certify medical restrictions, including symptoms, diagnosis, hospitalization, medication, and treatment regimen.
- The member is responsible for obtaining documentation from their health care provider and submitting it to the EBU Commander via email.
- The medical certification may be subject to review and approval by a Department-authorized health care provider.
Limited-Duty Assignment
- A member is not required to accept a limited-duty assignment, but failure to accept will result in placement on appropriate leave.
- On approval of a limited-duty assignment, EBU will coordinate with the bureau commander to assign the member based on their restrictions.
- Timekeepers will make appropriate timekeeping entries for members in limited-duty assignments.
- A member on limited-duty will:
- Receive base salary and clothing allowance (if eligible).
- Maintain administrative supervision of members assigned to the limited-duty pool.
- Coordinate with their treating health care provider regarding fitness-for-duty examinations and medical/retirement evaluation.
Review and Evaluation
- Limited-duty assignments will be reviewed at least monthly by the Human Resource Division.
- Limited-duty status of a year or more will be evaluated for retirement or separation in accordance with current written directives.
- The Department may discontinue or change a member's limited-duty assignment at its sole discretion.
Firearms
- Any sworn member who did not pass the firearms qualification course during the previous calendar year will not carry a firearm on-duty or during secondary employment and must qualify prior to returning to full duty.
- A supervisor/commander or Department-authorized health care provider may direct the member not to carry a firearm for the duration of the limited-duty assignment.
Administrative Guidelines
- The Department will consider factors such as the effect on operations, availability of limited-duty assignments, duration of limited-duty status, and justification of the request when evaluating limited-duty assignments.
- Changes in a member's restrictions must be immediately reported to the EBU, who will review and determine if further actions are necessary.
