I have been tasked to develop a return to work program. I was thinking of a intake form, release form and document that we can give to the employee for the doctor to fill out. Anyone know of any resources I can pull from to formulate this program?
Thanks! |

You might also check to see what exists at your state level WC department. Some are better than others, but I know TX has some specific required forms.
Also make sure you have a job description with physical requirements that the doctor can review....otherwise I have found doctors to give a very vague fitness for duty letter. They tend to do better if it is a WC injury where they are reporting to both the employer and the insurance carrier. But for non-work-related injuries, I don't tend to get the same level of quality reports. I would require the same (consistent) process for any injury/sickness, as long as it doesn't overstep ADA?FMLA boundaries. Usually if you require it for non-ADA/FMLA related cases, you can require it for ADA/FMLA cases (except for some recertification timing issues). |
