Research consistently shows that employees who return to work as soon as medically possible benefit both psychologically and physically, and experience quicker recovery times. Departments also benefit by reducing lost workdays while utilizing a skilled and valuable employee. If you have temporary work restrictions from a work-related or non-work-related injury or illness, the Return-to-Work Program may be able to provide you with modified/transitional duty during your recovery period. While participating in this program, you will earn your regular, hourly wage and accrue benefits as applicable in your regular assignment. Additional information and referral forms for the County’s Return-to-Work Program are available on www.workforceexchange.net. To contact a Return-to-Work Coordinator, call (877) RET-2WRK (738-2975) or email return2work@rc-hr.com.
