Common use of Alternate Duties Clause in Contracts

Alternate Duties. 24.01 In accordance with the Employer’s return to work program and where due to illness, injury or disability an employee becomes unable to perform the normal requirements of their job, the Employer will provide reasonable alternative duties. An effort will be made to accommodate the employee in their own department when they are required to perform alternate duties. 24.02 Alternate duty positions will be filled in accordance with the promotions and vacancies provisions of this Agreement. Such positions will be filled with the understanding that the employee accepting the posting may be displaced temporarily by another employee who, due to a physical disability, can perform the work of an alternate duty position satisfactorily but who is unable to perform their regular job, or other available work a junior employee in an alternate duty position is performing. 24.03 As soon as the disabled employee is physically able, they, as well as the displaced employee, will be returned to their original job. 24.04 The Employer reserves the right to place an alternate duty employee from Freezerco into a modified working environment at HyLife Foods that is suitable to the medical restrictions outlined (Freezerco employees placed at HyLife Foods will not perform the same tasks they were performing at Freezerco). Under no circumstances will a Hylife Foods employee be given an alternate duty position at Freezerco. A Freezerco employee may be offered an alternate duty position at HyLife Foods provided that the placement of that employee does not displace any HyLife Foods employee who owns a job. In the event that a concern is raised regarding the placement, the matter will be referred to the Area Health and Safety representative. If it is not resolved, the matter will be referred to the Joint Health and Safety Committee for determination. This section of the Collective Agreement applies to employees who were actively on the payroll as of January 31, 2015. Employees hired as Freezerco employees after that date will not be considered to be in a separate Bargaining unit for any purpose under this Collective Agreement.
