Getting an employee back to work quickly matters, but getting them back safely matters more — a rushed return that results in reinjury costs everyone more in the long run. We provide specific, functional work restrictions rather than vague guidance, and update them as the employee’s capacity genuinely changes, so light duty or modified duty assignments can be planned with confidence.
- Specific, functional restrictions rather than generic “light duty” language
- Regular reassessment as recovery progresses
- Coordination with your HR or safety team on modified duty options when appropriate
- A treatment plan that targets full return to the employee’s actual job demands, not just a desk-duty minimum
