§ 9.07. Medical reevaluation.  


Latest version.
  • A.

    The director of personnel may require a reasonable medical reevaluation at the time of promotion, demotion, reassignment, or other changes of status of an employee from one class to another class with increased physical, psychological and environmental demands. Such change of status shall not be completed until the employee has shown that the increased physical, psychological and environmental demands are met.

    B.

    An employee may request, or an appointing authority may, with the consent of the director of personnel, require an employee to have a medical reevaluation. The purpose of such reevaluation must be to determine the capacities of the employee to perform the duties of the employee's job satisfactorily and without undue hazard to the employee or others. Accordingly, such reevaluation shall be concerned only with the medical condition related to the satisfactory performance of the required duties or to the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the employee or others.

    C.

    If the employee's condition is the result of a work-incurred injury which falls within the jurisdiction of the workers' compensation appeals board, the determination by the director of personnel of the employee's medical capacities shall be based solely upon the medical evidence used by the appeals board in its disposition of the case.

    D.

    The appointing authority, with the consent of the director of personnel, may require periodic reevaluations for classes in the safety series to assure adequate capability to protect the public.
