Modified work programs designed to get
employees who have been out of work due to injury or illness to return to the
workforce sooner by providing them with less strenuous alternative jobs until
they are able to resume their full regular duties. Returning to work speeds an injured worker's
recovery and reduces the financial impact of a workers' compensation claim on
the worker, the employer and the workers' compensation system. The key is to act quickly. The
Early Return to Work (ERTW) program encourages return‑to‑work options much
earlier in the claims process, to everyone‛s benefit.
