Health and Medical Services Fitness-for-Duty Decisions

After a Fitness-for-Duty evaluation is complete, Health and Medical Services determines if the employee/applicant is medically and functionally able to safely perform his/her job and makes the following designations:

1. Fit for Duty
2. Fit for Duty - With Restrictions
   • A medical work restriction assigned by Health and Medical Services may include a requirement that the applicant/employee agree to ongoing monitoring of a specific health condition, with ongoing reporting of such information to Health and Medical Services. The treatment for the specific health condition is conducted by the employee's health care provider.
   • Union Pacific determines whether work restrictions can or cannot be reasonably accommodated.
     
3. Not Fit for Duty

Health and Medical Services will notify supervisors of the Fitness-for-Duty designation.
