Returning To Work On A Graduated Basis
Returning to work on a graduated basis provides the means for an employee to recommence work at less than full time hours, commensurate with the restrictions of his or her injury.
Without provision for a graduated return to work (GRTW), many employees would have no option but to remain off work on full compensation.
On the other hand, a return to work on a full time basis before the employee is medically ready could also mean a recurrence or aggravation of the existing injury.
Most GRTW programs are incorporated into an employee's rehabilitation program, to ensure that the employee succeeds in working towards full time hours with the guidance of his or her Case Manager and rehabilitation provider.
