Transitional Duty Assignment within the home department (priority)
Transitional Duty Assignment outside current department
Remain out of work
The duration of Transitional Duty will not exceed 10 weeks. Limited extensions are considered on a case-by-case basis, based on the treating physician’s recommendations.
Transitional Duty Assignments are regularly reviewed by the Transitional Duty Team to monitor for changes in the employee’s work capabilities and/or medical conditions.
The employee should advise his or her supervisor or designated contact person of problems or concerns while performing assigned duties.
The goal of the Transitional Duty Program is to return the employee to his or her regular duties as soon as their medical condition permits.
