What should a member be placed on after testing is completed, according to the guidelines?

Placing a member on administrative leave with pay, pending results from the Medical Examiner, reflects the standard protocol for ensuring that all members are given due process and that any potential issues identified during testing are thoroughly assessed before they return to active duty. This procedure not only safeguards the health and safety of the individual member but also protects the integrity and operational readiness of the entire team.

By allowing for this period of administrative leave with pay, the organization demonstrates a commitment to the well-being of its personnel and recognizes the importance of a proper evaluation process before making decisions regarding a member's return to duty. This approach helps ensure that any necessary follow-up actions are taken based on the testing outcomes, thereby helping to maintain a safe and effective working environment for all members of the organization. Returning to duty immediately or the next tour would not provide sufficient time for appropriate assessment and could compromise operational safety if any issues are present.
