Return to Work Provision
Return to Work Provision
An additional incentive is usually provided for a period of time to encourage disabled employees to return to work. When you are ready to return to work, you might return on a gradual basis.
This is called a return to work provision. The insured can receive up to 100 percent of pre-disability earnings, based on a combination of disability benefits and return-to-work earnings, under this provision.
A return to work program establishes transitional tasks that are medically approved and temporary for assignment during your employee's recovery period. By returning an injured employee to work, you can: Promote healing by keeping your employee active.
Returning to work does not mean that you are completely healed and that you can stop your treatment.
The purpose is to allow a smooth transition back into your job function while continuing to participate actively in your treatment plan. Psychological support from a therapist, and your family, friends and colleagues, along with regular medical follow-ups and a healthy lifestyle are all part of the recovery process.
Key concepts to help you successfully manage your return to work.
-Work is a key part of your recovery
-Returning to work often requires an adjustment period.
Return-to-work provisions are a valuable component of workers' compensation insurance. By implementing a well-structured RTW program, employers can not only benefit from reduced costs and improved productivity but also demonstrate care and support for their employees' well-being and a smooth return to the workforce.
