Step 4 Settlement Agreement: Article 8; Hours of Work (1980)

The issue in this grievance is whether management must pay an employee for all time spent to undergo a Fitness-for-Duty exam at the employer's request and whether charging such time to an employee's annual leave constitutes such payment. After reviewing the information provided, it is our position the time spent by an employee in waiting for and receiving such medical attention at the direction of the employer constitutes hours worked. Thus, the grievant in this case shall be carried in an official duty status for all time involved. In addition, any annual leave charged to the grievant shall be credited to his balance.
