Having a return-to-work policy is important for your business. It can help you save money and spend less effort throughout the worker’ compensation process. A return-to-work policy allows your employees to return to a light-duty job while they recover from an illness or injury at work. A return-to-work policy is designed to help injured or sick employees get back to work in a safe and timely manner.
A workers’ comp return-to-work policy can provide benefits to your business, including:
  • Help controlling the direct and indirect absenteeism costs
  • Reducing lost productivity
  • Not having to train replacement workers
  • Maintaining the skill sets of your valuable employees
A return-to-work (RTW) policy can also be beneficial to injured or sick employees. This includes:
  • A quicker recovery
  • Reiterating self-worth
  • Getting their job back or finding a similar role
  • Preventing salary interruption
In order for a RTW policy to work, both you and your employees need to support the program.
