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:

  • Fit for Duty
  • Fit for Duty - With Restrictions
  1. 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.
  2. Union Pacific determines whether work restrictions can or cannot be reasonably accommodated.
  • Not Fit for Duty

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