§ 3-262. TRANSFERS OF EMPLOYEES PHYSICALLY INCAPACITATED.

(a)

An employee who becomes physically incapacitated for the performance of his duties may be transferred with the approval of the Chief Administrative Officer and the written consent of the employee to a position in the same or a lower class for which he is qualified. If no such position is available, the employee may be transferred with the approval of the Chief Administrative Officer and the written consent of the employee to a vacant position in a higher class provided the Director certifies that the employee has the qualifications required to perform the duties of the new position and the employee passes a qualifying examination. Such transfers may be made only if the City Physician finds that the employee meets the medical standards for the new position with no reservations upon the finding.

(b)

Whenever an employee transferred pursuant to this section regains his physical capacity for the performance of the duties of the class from which he was transferred, he may, with the approval of all appointing authorities concerned, be retransferred to a position in his former class when a vacancy occurs. If the employee so regains his physical capacity and applies for retransfer and before retransfer is separated from his position for any reason stated in subsection (a) of Section 3-292, he shall be placed upon a reinstatement list for both positions under the provisions of Section 3-292. The regaining of physical capacity shall be determined under Section 3-288.
