Section 29. Physical or Mental Disability If an employee has a physical or mental disability which permanently or chronically disables the employee from the proper performance of the duties of the employee's classification and if the City is unable to reasonably accommodate the employee, the employee shall be laid off and the employee's name placed on a re-employment list for a period of twelve months in accordance with Section 25.7 If during the twelve(12) month period, the employee, based upon competent medical evidence, is able to resume the proper performance of the duties of the employee's former classification, the City shall offer to re-employ the employee in a vacant position occurring within said classification during the twelve (12) month period. Should the employee refuse the offer of re- employment, or should the twelve (12) month period expire, the employee's name shall be removed from the re-employment list. Section 30. Outside Employment Employees who plan to participate in any gainful occupation other than the city service during off-duty time must secure written permission to do so from the Department Head. The City will issue a memo to remind employees that approval is necessary on an annual basis to facilitate compliance throughout the organization. The City retains the right to refuse permission to any employee for such outside employment whenever it appears to the City that such outside employment would materially interfere with the proper performance of the City's service for which the employee has been hired, or that such outside employment may place the employee in a position of conflict with the City. In the event of illness or injury incurred by members so employed or arising out of such employment, the City will in no way be responsible for compensation or any other benefits. Use of City equipment or City identification by signs, insignia, or dress is permitted only while working for the City. Section 31. Meal Pay Any employee required to work twelve (12) consecutive hours or beyond in a given work duty period without the opportunity for a dinner meal break shall be provided a meal allowance of seventeen dollars ($17.00), which shall be paid on the employee's regular pay check. Section 32. Modified Duty The City may return an employee to modified duty on a temporary basis provided that a physician's release to return to modified duty has been issued, the Department Head and/or division chief has determined that suitable modified duty exists, and that the employee can perform said work safely and not impede his/her convalescence.
