Workers' Comp/Accommodations

Companies who have hired staff must maintain and pay into their states Workers' Compensation coverage but on top of this, they must also adhere to policies and procedures regarding Workers' Compensation accommodations within the work place. 

New Employers may provide accommodations which could be deemed as light duty and once the Employee receives potential permanent work restrictions, their accommodation would not allow for the Employee to perform the essential functions of their job. But if an Employer had been accommodating and not taken the necessary steps to protect themselves and the Employee, they may create an environment and accommodation method outside of policy and procedure. Leading to the Employees work not meeting the expectations of the hired job. Which could then impact moral and staffing.
