…Return-to-Work is the goal

Having your injured employee back on the job as soon as possible is always the best outcome – for your employee, for the company, and for your industry.

 

Top Two Strategies

Stay-At-Work

Many employees can return to work right away in a light-duty position. This allows your company to benefit from the Washington Stay-At-Work Program.

Kept-on-Salary

When light-duty isn’t possible right away, Kept-on-Salary is the bridge for your employee and your company. A little expense now can prevent huge rate increases later.
