Can the Return-To-Work process be used for non-occupational injuries too?
Absolutely! The Return-To-Work process works for any type of illness or injury, and the program was specifically designed for any type of disability management. The main difference is that the injury would not represent a workers’ compensation claim, and will not be handled through DOAS Risk Management. You do not need to report through the telephonic reporting system, and all medical documentation and physician communication would go through the employee and personnel. All other aspects remain the same.
