Early Safe Return to Work. The Company and the Union will endeavor, in a cooperative spirit, to jointly assist workers injured at work in Early Safe Return to Work (ESRTW). This article will not limit the rights and/or obligations of the Company, the Union or the employee prescribed in the legislation. In order to accomplish this goal in a joint manner, the following procedure will apply: When it becomes apparent to an employee that he/she has sustained a work related injury; such employee will notify his/her supervisor as soon as practicable in accordance with the injury reporting procedures. If medical intervention is required, the Company will provide the employee with a Functional Abilities Form (FAF). The employee will provide his/her medical practitioner with the FAF and request that it be completed and returned to the Company. The Company, the Union and the employee will review the completed FAF to develop an individual plan including a transitional return to work program. The parties will assess whether the employee can perform the essential duties of his/her pre-injury occupation, or, alternatively, identify potential suitable and available work in which the employee can participate. The employee will advise the Company if the injury will require ongoing offsite medical attention and/or further medical evaluations, including the anticipated schedule. A definitive recovery time line should be established during this process. The employee’s status will be reviewed on the final date of the duration period. At this time, the employee will have a note from the attending physician stating he/she can return to full regular duties, or estimate the time of recovery and a summary of the remaining restrictions. If the initial recovery date is revised, the restrictions will be reviewed and an extended or alternate ESRTW plan will be developed. When necessary, the workplace parties may solicit the WSIB to facilitate the ESRTW program as prescribed by the legislation. The Company and the Union acknowledge that the procedure may be modified as necessary to remain consistent with legislative changes.
