Developed in conjunction with the employer, collective bargaining agent (where applicable), physician of record and
rehabilitation professionals, transitional work programs are one of the most effective ways to help injured workers
progressively perform real job tasks and remain working. Employers and employees benefit from this program. Employers
maintain an experienced work force and reduce disability-related costs, and employees protect their employability or ability
to work. Accredited rehabilitation case managers, or occupational or physical therapists with experience in developing
transitional work programs help employers develop their programs. An occupational or physical therapist provides the on-site
therapy to the injured worker at the employer’s work site.
