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 begins. Time limits, consistent with or

similar to those contained in Article 10.17 of the Operational 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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
§11.9(a) The State and CSEA shall establish a committee whose
purpose shall include, but not be limited to, the following activities:

(1) Design, develop and implement a system for collecting data from each

agency and facility concerning injured workers and workers'
compensation claims handling:
a. injuries and claims

b. loss reporting including loss time incidents and days,

catastrophic events, indemnity and medical payments
c. terminations and reinstatements

d. one and two year leaves of absence
