Have you ever…

• Told an injured employee not to come back to work until they were better – without evaluating their eligibility for Federal leave protection?

• Hesitated to take disciplinary action because an employee was on light duty.

• Felt overwhelmed by the complexity of the light duty limitations and keeping track of the employees work status.

• Offered a light duty position—only to have the employee file a new injury claim.

• Returned an employee to work and your supervisors or managers objected to having the employee in their department—instead of working with you they sent the employee home.

• Terminated an employee who refused a light duty job offer—then had to offer him or her a huge settlement.

You’ve been there, right? That is why you need to attend this training program. We will show you how to handle challenging return to work issues—from how to work with treating physicians, uncooperative supervisors and manipulative injured employees and much, much more…
