[All PHRca Questions]

Millie is an injured worker who has been back to work on modified duty for approximately 13 months. Which of the following return-to-work strategies would best help Millie get back to full duty?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Answer option A is correct. An IME will allow Millie to be evaluated by an impartial third party. Modified duty is a short-term solution to be used when an injured worker is able to return to work but not to full duty (D). A reasonable accommodation strategy (B) may become necessary, but only after Millie's diagnosis and treatment plan is clearly understood. Terminating her employment (C) prior to identifying the extent of her qualifications and limitations is not advisable.

I disagree, I think option B is better because reasonably accommodating her into a more permanent position shows that the company values her as an employee.

I agree, continuing the modified duty assignment until she is released to full duty seems like the most supportive option.

Ah, the age-old question: keep the employee or throw them out the window? Clearly, D is the way to go. Though I do wonder if Millie has a penchant for skydiving...

C? Seriously? Terminating her employment is just plain cruel. Clearly, the answer is D.

I don't know, B seems like a good option. Accommodating her into a more permanent position could work well.
