BOP Program Statement 1601.07 § 8
LIMITED LIGHT DUTY (LLD)
LLD is meant to provide a temporary, not permanent, arrangement for an IW to continue
working while recovering from an injury/illness.
Examples of LLD assignments may include assignment to a position that requires limited to no
interaction with inmates or can include partial (less than eight-hour) workdays, as the needs of
the injured/ill staff member and the institution indicate. During the time the IW is on LLD, if
requested, ample time will be provided for medical and physical therapy appointments. For a
routine medical appointment, a maximum of four hours of compensation is usually allowed.
More than four hours may be used with DOL’s prior approval.
