Common use of Light Duties Clause in Contracts

Light Duties. In situations where an employee can only return to work on light duties, the Company has designated various "light duties" categories, which have different levels of physical requirements. These are listed and described in “Appendix A” along with examples of typical light duty jobs, which could be made available to the employee. These descriptions are available for a physician to review in order to be able to adequately assess whether or not an employee can perform one or more of them in keeping with the employee’s physical restrictions. Typically, an employee will be on light duties until they receive medical clearance to return to their pre-accident/illness position. The Company will make every effort to return the employee to the workplace as soon as is medically appropriate.
