It is not intended to address all situations.  \nCreating Individualized Return to Work Plans  \nA return to work (RTW) plan is a written document developed collaboratively by the injured or ill worker, the worker’s supervisor or manager, the treating health professional (through the provision of functional abilities information) and, where appropriate, the RTW Co-ordinator and/or Union Representative. It outlines what needs to happen and when it will happen in order to help the injured or ill worker return to work.  \nA RTW plan includes the following:  \n􀂃 The RTW goal  \nThe primary goal of RTW planning is to return the worker to work that is both suitable and available. Suitable work is safe and productive , consistent with the worker’s functional abilities , and to the extent possible , restores the worker’s pre-injury earnings. Ideally, the worker will return to their pre-injury job, with accommodations if required. However, at times it may be necessary to explore temporary alternate suitable work while the injured/ill worker recovers.  \n􀂃 The actions and activities required to achieve the RTW goal  \nThe plan should identify the responsibilities of the worker, the supervisor or manager, treating health professionals, union representatives and any coworkers who will be assisting the worker. The plan should lay out in simple terms the specific activities and accommodations that are required to achieve the RTW goal and the individual(s) responsible for those actions.  \n􀂃 Time frames for achieving these goals  \nThese will provide a yardstick to measure the worker’s progress. It is important that the plan has a beginning and an end. An accommodation, such as graduated work , is a means to achieve a return to pre-injury work, and isnot an end in itself. Make sure to include a clear definition of what is considered progress. For example, the worker can work five hours a day by week three of the plan, or the worker can assume specific tasks by week five of the plan.  \n􀂃 Health care needs  \nIn cases where the worker is attending health or medical appointments during work hours, these visits must be co-ordinated with the requirements of the proposed return to work plan. Co-workers who will be impacted by these appointments should also, with the worker’s permission, be advised.  \nThe following pages contain sample formats you can use to develop your RTW plans. If after a return to work discussion meeting you are unable to identify suitable work, contact the WSIB to request assistance. A WSIB representative can meet with the injured/ill worker and the employer to help identify suitable work.  \nUsing the sample templates in the Return to Work Package  \nThe following table explains when and how to use the templates included in this guide.  \n\n| Template |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Return to Work Discussion Guide |  The Return to Work Discussion Guide helps to facilitate the return to work discussion between the employer and worker. It provides direction on the type of information that is required when planning for a worker’s return to work. This includes information related to the worker’s recovery, their functional abilities and accommodations required to remove barriers to return to work. |  |\n| Contact Log | | Research shows that early and ongoing contact between the employer and the worker is important. It provides an opportunity to establish communication and to share information. Ideally, contact should begin as soon as possible following an injury or illness.
