  • If you will be absent from work

    1 – If you will be absent from work related to your Workers’ Compensation injury, you must notify your supervisor and Human Resources. If you will be out more than three days, you will need to submit a letter from the doctor to Human Resources outlining the injury, the length you should be out, and when you will be medically reassessed.

     

    2 – If you have been out for an extended period, and plan to return to work, you must provide Human Resources with a letter from your doctor informing us that you are medically cleared to return. If you have any restrictions your doctor’s note must include what type(s) of restriction(s) you have. If you require an accommodation, you must fill out an Accommodation Request Form and Human Resources will be in touch with you to discuss next steps.
