Return to Work Policy Statement CareMate Home Health Care, Inc. is committed to providing employees a safe work environment. It is the responsibility of every employee to communicate any potentially unsafe work condition or act to assist us with this commitment. In the event a work related injury does occur, CareMate Home Health Care, Inc. has established a return to work program for injured workers. The purpose of a return to work program is to provide meaningful work to injured employees so that they may continue to make meaningful contributions to the organization and receive appropriate compensation during their recovery period. If you are injured at work and are unable to perform your job, your Supervisor will work on your behalf to identify modifications to your current job that will meet the restrictions provided to us by your medical provider. If modifications to your current job are not possible, an alternative work assignment will be offered. Your Supervisor will communicate with your and your medical provider frequently during your recovery period to make on-going modifications to your work assignment in order to ensure that the job assigned to you meets your post injury physical capabilities. Modified duty and transitional work assignments are offered only when available and are meant to be temporary in nature. It is the responsibility of all employees to:
Report injuries to their Supervisor as soon as they occur. Seek appropriate medical treatment when necessary. Notify the medical provider of the availability of modified or transitional work assignments. Maintain communication with your Supervisor about your progress. Accept temporary transitional work assignments approved by your medical provider and offered by the company to facilitate return to work.
