Ill Injured Employee Management and Return to Work Policy

Facilitating an employee’s return to work following a workplace injury or illness is an important part of the recovery process. In the event of a workplace injury or illness, it is important that companies assist employees to achieve a safe return to work, in a way that will facilitate their best possible recovery. This policy intends to provide your managers and employees with information to help the company achieve its objectives by outlining expectations of behaviour and procedures for managing ill and injured employees and their return to work. This policy applies to all employees and covers:

• Illness and injury reporting
• Capacity management
• Unfit to attend work
• Return to work
• Alternative duties
• Company and employee responsibilities

Ensure your company is covered by implementing the Ill Injured Employee Management and Return to Work Policy, the policy template is fully customisable and printable.
