Committee reviews transitional work program to help injured employees return to work
Summary
The committee heard a presentation from the HR representative on a draft transitional work program developed with BWC and a coordinator; the policy and an accident/injury flowchart were circulated for review and staff requested committee feedback before finalizing.
The Employee and Community Relations Committee heard a presentation on a proposed transitional work program intended to provide short-term, light-duty work for employees injured on duty.
The HR representative said the program was developed "working with BWC and a coordinator with BWC to set up a transitional work program," and described it as a way to help injured employees return to work sooner by assigning limited duties aligned with their restrictions. The representative also said an accident/injury flowchart accompanies the draft and that staff will accept feedback before finalizing the policy.
Committee members asked no substantive questions during the presentation. The HR representative noted the draft can be revised based on input and that a staff member named Ted would distribute the policy and flowchart by email for review. No formal action or vote was taken on the proposal at this meeting.
