Return to Work: Information for Employers

When injured workers stay at work or return to work while they recover, it helps them and helps your business. You and your worker have a legal duty to cooperate with each other and with WorkSafeBC. Some employers also have an obligation to maintain that worker’s employment. Learn what to expect after a workplace injury, and your responsibility to stay in touch and collaborate with the worker to identify suitable work that keeps them connected to the workplace while they recover.

For more information about how you can support injured workers in their safe and timely return to work, visit Employers: Return-to-work information.
