PAP.9.7.120 Light / Limited Duty

(a) If the injured team member has the opportunity to return to work in a vacant position for which he/she meets the qualifications and is physically capable of performing the work, the team member may return to for the Gaming Enterprises. Director/Managers and the Human Resource Department will assist team members in finding placement when applicable.

(b) Occasionally, the Gaming Enterprises may have "modified duty positions" enabling the team member to return to work within limitations set by the medical provider. When such a position is identified, the Human Resource Department will contact the team member and inform him/her where and when to return to work. If the team member fails to appear for limited duty work, worker's compensation benefits may be reduced or cease completely.

(c) While on leave under worker's compensation benefits, the team member will continue to be responsible for all elective benefit payments, such as their portion of health care coverage, dependent health care coverage, etc. Since the team member will not be receiving income through the casino payroll department during this time, payroll deductions will not occur. Team members are responsible for submitting premiums due pursuant to Section PAP.9.7.100(k)(2) of this manual.
