CA work comp gurus....can we cut pay on light duty?

We have a situation in CA where a supervisor apparently has carpal tunnel problems. His job entails heavy keyboard work. The work restrictions would basically cut his out put in half, if we keep him in same position. If we transfer to another dept that could really use the light duty clerical help, he would be off the charts with his supervisory pay scale.

We want to do what we can to provide light duty. It isn't clear to me what we can do in CA though if such duty means a temporary job transfer with different pay scales. Any thoughts or recommendations? Many thanks in advance!
