Marilyn - do you keep their wage the same or are adjustments made based on the light duty they are doing? We have a new VP who wants to adjust wages and I just wanted to get a consensus on what others do. Thanks for your response.
Thank you. Have a great day!!

We try to keep them in their original department and working their usual hours. If there manager does not have any work for them to do then we place them in another
department. We have a light duty cost center that they clock into so technically the injured employee is free help to the department.
Thank you

Subject: [MCOH-EH] light or restricted duty
For those of you that do workers comp, how are you handling light or restricted duty. Do they continue to work in their original department or do you put them in
a pool and triage them to light or restricted duties throughout the facility?
Thank you. Have a great day!!
