Return-to-Work Guide and Sample Policy

Return-to-Work programs help you get injured employees back to their normal or modified job duties as quickly and safely as possible.

Instead of paying for workers’ compensation costs and lost work days, you’ll save money by paying your employees their normal wages for doing light-duty work that the company needs done anyway. You’ll also be able to keep them on their regular work schedules, which is proven to increase their likelihood of returning to regular working duties sooner.

Return-to-Work programs reduce employees’ days away from work, allow employees to recover more quickly and foster a more positive work environment.
