Return-to-Work/FEHA handbook and factsheet

 

Juliann Sum and the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment UC Berkeley has completed a handbook for small employers,  "Helping Injured Employees Return to Work: Practical Guidance Under Workers’ Compensation and Disability Rights Laws in California", and an accompanying factsheet,  "Best Practices in Returning an Injured Employee to Work".

You can view and download these materials from the website of the Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation at the following links:

The handbook and factsheet are geared particularly for small employers.

They can also be used by larger employers and by employees.

 We encourage anyone to copy and distribute these materials. Commission staff are also in the process of ordering the printing of mass quantities. [mailto:jsum@berkeley.edu]
