The purpose of this article is to control the
Borough's worker's compensation costs, aid in the rehabilitation of
the employees who are injured on the job and to assure that the Borough
is able to maintain the required level of services to its citizens.
Those eligible for modified duty are Borough
of South River full-time employees who have reported, recorded and
verified on-the-job injury and because of the conditions are temporarily
not able to perform his/her regularly duty assignment.
This policy becomes effective immediately upon
adoption and applies to all Borough employees, including those who
are currently on modified-duty status.
