Return to Work for Small and Medium Businesses

When injury occurs, staying connected to the workplace and continuing to work are important factors in recovery.

The longer employees are off work, the less likely they are to return. So when an injury does occur, the best result for everyone is a safe and timely return to work.

The WCB’s goal is to work with employers, employees, unions and health care providers to ensure this happens.
