A Vocational Assessment is a written assessment of the injured workers’ desire to return to work. It may include job analysis, a transferable skills analysis, a labor market survey, and an assessment of the client’s job-seeking skills—both written and verbal. Once this information is collected, assessments provide a step-by-step plan for a timely return to work.

A Job Analysis documents the physical demands, the training requirements, and the essential and non-essential functions of a particular job. This determines and helps facilitate the most reasonable ways an individual can safely and expeditiously return to work.

Long-Term Disability is a service that provides case management for individuals receiving long-term or extended disability payments for a personal injury. The vocational professionals review the case files and evaluate for appropriate services, which may include a physical abilities assessment, vocational evaluation, transferable skills analysis, lab market surveys, and job placement services.

Case management coordinates the communication between the worker, employer, and medical providers to facilitate a safe return to work environment where feasible.

This service places an injured or ill individual into a temporary work environment that enables the individual to work within their physical capabilities subsequent to a work-related injury. This service allows them to maintain a regular work schedule with an off-site transitional work provider.

Transitional Return to Work services should be utilized when employers are not able to identify in-house modified duty or may have limits in terms of their ability to monitor an on-site modified duty assignment for their employees.
