Our Return To Work Program (RTW) is a benefit not only to the Injured/Ill Employee but to the Employer as well.  The Return To Work Program was developed to provide the Injured/Ill Employee the opportunity to recuperate from their incident/illness while being productive in a temporary-transitional position of employment either in their department or an alternative position.  The Injured/Ill Employee will be provided job requirements/assignments that are within the work restrictions that are deemed necessary by their treating physician. The Injured/Ill Employee’s job classification will be considered when their work restrictions are provided, and a temporary-transitional position of employment is being identified.  There may be times when, based on their work restrictions, that an employee may not be able to return to work until their medical condition improves.  The time frames for the RTW Program will be identified prior to the commencement of this program.  During the employee’s participation in the RTW Program, their progress is monitored, and reports are provided to the pertinent parties.
