RETURN TO WORK ISSUES when returning from a personal illness? There is currently a pending IP (Improper Practice) in mediation with GOER. Until resolution, SIF’s RTW requirements are as follows:
- Your “return to work” note must have a date to return to work and specifically state “Able to perform job duties”
- It must list a Brief Diagnosis (no prognosis required)
- It must be emailed to personnelops@nysif.com SIF has advised that they typically respond within 24 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. Please keep this in mind when submitting your RTW note.
It is recommended by SIF that your physician fill out SIF’s return to work form but your doctor is not required to as long as the RTW note is in accordance with the above bullet points.
With respect to worker’s compensation ongoing medical or RTW issues, please be guided by the rules and regulations of WC Law and contact your attorney.
