It is good to hear that you are improving. As you have not yet been released to your regular working hours the University would like to offer you a transitional return-to-work position. A decision regarding your return to your regular job will be made upon receipt of additional information from your attending physician.  \nIn accordance with your doctor’s restrictions you will be working   hours per day and   days per week. Your job duties, the essential functions of your position, your rate of pay and benefits will be those which are current for your regular position.  \nThe supervisor for this position will be   .

The program provides support to you while you are unable to perform regular work duties due to your injury or illness and helps you return to your regular duties as soon as possible. Returning to regular work at the earliest opportunity helps you reduce the financial, social, and emotional impact that can be a result of being away from work. It also reduces disruption caused by the need for the University to adjust to the loss of your valued skills and abilities.  \nTransitional RTW positions may be developed around the following-restricted duties, restricted hours, duties outside of your normal job duties that are within your restrictions and further the work of the department and/or the university, or combinations of the above.  \nDeveloping and maintaining a transitional RTW position involves collaboration between you, your doctor, your supervisor, your department, Human Resources, and the Return-to-Work coordinator.  \nAcceptance of a transitional RTW position causes no permanent changes to your regular job description or the essential functions of your regular position. These positions are temporary in  \nWorker name Date  \nPage 2  \nnature and last no more than 90 days. Extensions may be allowed by agreement of you, your department, and Human Resources.  \nNo precedent is set by accepting a position as each transitional RTW position is designed to meet the unique and specific concerns of your temporary work restrictions and the existing working needs of the department and/or the university.  \nSince each transitional RTW situation is unique no guarantee can be made by the University that your department will have available transitional RTW duties. In addition, transitional RTW positions may be terminated at any time the department is unable to provide work due to changes in your restrictions orthe availability of transitional duties.  \nWhat Should I Expect?  \nYou may expect:  \n• A transitional RTW position that involves work which recognizes your value to the University.  \n• The support of the University and your department in your efforts to transition back to full duty.  \nWhat Are My Responsibilities?  \nYou are responsible for:  \n• Fully participating in your recovery. Participation in this program will assist you in that recovery.  \n• Working within, and not exceeding, the activity restrictions set by your doctor.  \n• Refusing any request to work outside your restrictions.  \n• Immediately reporting, to your supervisor or the Return-to-Work coordinator, any pressure to","cbCaiujIqGYjcMPN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiujIqGYjcMPN","pdf",72510,"English","# Information about Transitional Return-to-Work (RTW)\n## Purpose and program support\n## How transitional RTW positions are developed\n## Collaboration and program impact\n## Temporary duration and no precedent","[{\"question\":\"What determines when a worker returns to regular working hours?\",\"answer\":\"A decision about returning to regular job hours is made after receipt of additional information from the attending physician.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the worker responsibilities during transitional RTW?\",\"answer\":\"The worker must fully participate in recovery, follow and not exceed doctor-set activity restrictions, refuse requests outside restrictions, and promptly report any pressure or difficulty to the supervisor or Return-to-Work coordinator, including updated restriction copies from the doctor.\"},{\"question\":\"How long can a transitional RTW position last and can it be extended?\",\"answer\":\"Transitional RTW positions are temporary and last no more than 90 days.
