Creating a Win-win with Bona Fide Return-to-work Offers

Does the offer take into account all considerations for it to be bona fide? An offer to return to work modified duty is beneficial for an injured worker – but only if their individual circumstances are considered.

One of the many benefits of an occupational injury benefit program is injured employees are treated by quality physicians specializing in occupational medicine. Not only are these physicians trained on the protocols for treating occupational injuries, they’re also keenly aware of the physical and psychological benefits of allowing employees to return to work when medically appropriate, be it full duty or modified duty.  

Florida Update

PartnerSource joined in ARAWC’s initiative to expand the Option to business operating in Florida.

In February, bills were filed in the Florida Legislature -- HB 1069 (Fabricio) in the Florida House of Representatives and SB 1426 (DeCiglie) in the Florida Senate – to allow occupational injury benefit plans as exception to workers’ compensation. Both bills are currently in the Banking and Insurance committees for review.

Follow the bills’ progress by clicking the links above. For more information, please contact ARAWC or email Jennifer Hurless at Jennifer_Hurless@partnersource.com.

Upcoming Events

 

The Alternative to Workers’ Comp, commonly referred to as Texas Nonsubscriber Option, or just “the Option”, is a completely different approach to providing on-the-job benefits to injured workers. Using the ERISA platform, the Option has many advantages over traditional workers' compensation.

PartnerSource is the recognized leader in this field.
