The best way to hasten the recovery of a work injury is to get an injured worker back to work as soon as possible. Light duty assignments can achieve this goal for a staffing company while minimizing temporary disability payments.
Make sure your light duty policy is clearly stated in your employee materials. Make it clear that if you have a position available and offer it to the employee, if they don’t take it, benefits and future employment may be affected. Employees also need to understand that the position isn’t available indefinitely. They will be expected, if able, to return to full or modified work.
If you don’t currently have a light duty policy program, your workers’ comp carrier including a professional employer organization (PEO) can help you put one in place that keeps injured workers productive and saves costs. Work Comp Staffing Solutions can help introduce you to the best PEO’s and work comp specialists.
