Duties available, to employees who have sustained an injury or illness from a non-job-related activity. (d) Implementation. The Village Administrator and Superintendent will, with the cooperation of all Divisions, locate and assign feasible Transitional Duties as follows: 1. The treating approved physician shall be encouraged to release temporarily disabled employees to a transitional work status and describe the employee's capacities in sufficient detail to enable the Village to determine a suitable work or task assignment. 2 The employee's regular Division shall attempt to locate or design a work assignment within the capacities described by the physician. 3. If the employee's assigned Division is unable to assign suitable work, other Divisions shall be contacted to determine if a suitable work assignment exists. 4. If no suitable temporary assignment is available within the assigned Division, the Village Board shall be contacted in order to consider other alternatives. The Administrator or the Superintendent will attempt, when feasible, to coordinate and effect a temporary reassignment of the employee on an inter-division basis. The Division of which the employee is regularly assigned will continue to provide regular wages to the reassigned employee. 5.
