Returning to Work

• Transitional work, sometimes referred to as “light duty,” is an interim step in the physical recovery of an employee who suffers an occupational or a non-occupational injury or illness that prevents the employee from working in his/her current position.
• Transitional work is designed to use job tasks or a combination of tasks and functions that an individual with work restrictions may safely perform.
• Transitional work assignments are offered to those employees who have supplied Human Resources with temporary work restrictions.
• An employee may continue in the transitional work program for up to twelve weeks.
