Employees are our most valued assets. Their safety and well-being are a major concern for the University. When our employees are injured or ill it is our desire to assist them in a quick recovery and return to meaningful employment. Medical studies indicate that some physical and mental activity early on in the healing process will actually speed recovery.
Washington State University’s Return to Work Program provides employees, who have either an occupational injury or illness and are unable to return to full regular duties immediately, with a safe, timely transition back to work with modified duties based on medical restrictions until medically released to full duties.
The program involves monitoring an injured employee's progress and identifying temporary modified duties that are suited to physical capacity guidelines established by the designated physician or medical provider.
