Vocational Rehabilitation Benefits. Vocational rehabilitation involves a work-related activity or training strategy that is designed to help you return to gainful employment and a more productive lifestyle. A plan or program will be approved if it is appropriate for the expected duration of your disability and it facilitates your earliest possible return to work.
Vocational Rehabilitation Benefits for Permanently Disabled Employees. Vocational Rehabilitation will be made available to employees who have suffered permanent disability as a result of an injury or illness sustained in the course and scope of employment before 1/1/04. For injuries on or after 1/1/04 qualified employees are entitled to supplemental job displacement vouchers in accordance with the California Labor Code, Division 1, Department of Industrial Relations and Division 4, Workers' Compensation and Insurance, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the City of Palo Alto's Workers' Compensation Program.
