  20. Monitoring the Progress of Modified Duties • Monitoring and revising accommodation/return-to-work plans in cooperation with the employee to respond to changing employee and operational needs • Advising accommodated employees as early as possible about upcoming operational changes that may cause the employee to need new or different accommodation • Addressing co-worker cooperation issues throughout the employment accommodation process • Despite your best efforts for accommodation, if the employees are incapable of performing the essential duties of the accommodated position you must: • notify the appropriate department (HR/Management) • advise of benefits entitlements in a timely manner • put forward for reassignment to another position, when appropriate • maintaining contact with your employee, to communicate concern for the employee’s health, obtain information about expected return-to-work date and anticipated accommodation needs, and prepare for his/her timely and safe return

  21. Refusal of Modified Duties Workers are expected to participate fully in their rehabilitation programs and failure to do so may result in the suspension or reduction of wage loss benefits. Once it has been determined that the return-to-work plan is appropriate, the injured worker has a responsibility to carry out the plan.
