Reintegration. During a disability period, at the employee’s request and in order to facilitate his or her eventual reintegration into work, the board and the employee may agree on a temporary assignment to a class of employment in keeping with his or her qualifications, experience and functional capacity confirmed in a medical certificate from his or her attending physician. During the assignment, the employee is deemed totally disabled. However, he or she shall receive the salary for the class of employment concerned if it is higher than his or her own and the salary insurance benefits based on his or her time not worked. The duration of the assignment may not exceed twelve (12) weeks and must not have the effect of extending the total or reduced benefit periods beyond one hundred and four (104) weeks for the same disability. The board shall inform the union of the duties offered to the employee. At any time, the employee may require that the temporary assignment cease upon the advice of the attending physician.
