We had a similar program at UCLA but a 60 day limit.  Also prior as a CMD,
we charged back the department of origin for the wages which worked well to
encourage the department of origin to find work within the restrictions.

Hi Patricia,

 

We have a transitional duty cost center that can be utilized for injured
employees who are not able to work full duty. The employee can work  under
that cost center in their own department if needed or another department
where work is available that meets their restrictions.  They can only work
in this cost center for 90 days.

Do any of you have a central wages fund that is used when an employee has a
work-related injury, is not able to do their regular job,  and is either
transferred or working in their usual area but not able to do their regular
job?

 

Thank you
