(2) Mandatory alternate duty assignments shall be based upon medical

documentation satisfactory to management. Such satisfactory

documentation must include a prognosis of a return to the full duties of the
injured worker’s original job within 60 calendar days from the date upon

which the alternate duty assignment be- gins. Time limits, consistent with
or similar to those contained in Article 10.19 of the Institutional Services

Unit Agreement or as developed jointly by the parties, will be utilized for
those situations when the State requires that an employee be medically

examined. Medical documentation shall not be reviewable under Article
34 of the Agreement.

(3) Management shall have the authority to make mandatory alternate
duty assignments to tasks that can be performed by the employee not

necessarily within their original job duties, title series, work schedule, work
location or workweek.

(4) Mandatory alternate duty assignments shall be for a period up to 60
calendar days per injury. Such assignment may be extended at

management’s discretion not to exceed the term of the disability.
(5) When an employee’s mandatory alternate duty assignment expires or

is terminated, such employee shall either be returned to full duty status or
returned to being covered by the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation

statute.
(6) If the above conditions are met and if management is not able to

provide the eligible employee with such alternate duty assignment, that
employee’s compensation shall be adjusted to equal the employee’s “100

percent disabled” statutory benefit for the period the employee qualified

for an alternate duty assignment based on medical documentation,
described in 11.8(a)(2) above, for up to 60 calendar days.
