If the physician releases the employee to “modified”
or “light” duty work, the employee’s supervisor
and the Workers’ Compensation Program Manager will review
the work restrictions and determine if temporary modified or alternate
work is available to assist in transitioning the employee back to
their full job duties.
If a temporary transitional assignment is feasible, the employee’s
supervisor and the Workers’ Compensation Program Manager will
meet with the employee to review the transitional assignment and
the work restrictions prescribed by the physician. The temporary
assignment will be reviewed at regular intervals to ensure that
the employee is continuing to improve. Changes will be made as appropriate.
If a temporary transitional assignment is not available, the Workers’
Compensation Program Manager will contact the employee to discuss
the available benefit options. The employee’s supervisor should
not allow the employee to return to work without a written release.
