Returning Permanent and Stationary Employee to Work

An employee declared permanent and stationary may be capable of returning to their pre-injury job without limitation.

You, the treating physician and, in some cases, your company doctor determine if the employee can perform the job’s pre-injury essential functions with or without reasonable accommodations. Make sure that the medical authorities understand the job’s essential functions and the extent to which any necessary accommodations can reasonably be made. Involve your company physician when privacy concerns require detailed consideration of the employee’s condition and recovery.
