Return-to-Work Program

Many employers have seen dramatic savings (30-60%) when an injured employee returns to temporary, restricted duty assignments. Return to work programs are the most effective tool in reducing your overall workers' compensation expense.

Print a Sample Return-to-Work Program.

Advantages of a Return-to-Work Program

• Decreased lost work days
• Increased productivity
• Decreased cost of workers' compensation claim
• Eventual decreased workers' compensation premium
• Enhanced employee relations
• Employee remains active and productive

Key Points To A Success Return-to-Work Program

• A successful Return-to-Work program should be designed to assist an injured employee to return to work as early as medically possible.
• Focus should be on ability not disability. What can the employee do?
• Establish a variety of modified jobs with definitive time limits to encourage progress
• Stress that modified duty is temporary and progressive

To establish and improve the effectiveness of your Return-to-Work Program call your Worker's Compensation Trust Loss Control Representative.

Failure to provide an effective Return-to-Work Program may jeopardize your membership in the Trust.
