DRAFT NEW POLICY SYS 635, Return to Work Policy: Worker’s Compensation This policy has been developed to ensure institutions make reasonable efforts to accommodate transitional modified work assignments within the limits of an injured employee’s capabilities when the employee has been involved in a work-related incident. It outlines provisions related to: · The need for notice in writing from a healthcare provider outlining the employee’s functional limitations; · The role of the institution’s Office of Human Resources in evaluating the necessity of disability accommodations, assisting in placement opportunities (if applicable), addressing benefits, and addressing other human resources issues; · The role of the employee’s department in covering wage and benefit costs (regardless of placement); · The preference to place employees in their department and modification or reassignment of tasks to accommodate a modified duty assignment; and · The necessity of approval from the institution’s Chief Business Officer if unique circumstances prevent the employee from returning to work. |
