Companies can save millions of dollars by implementing a Transitional Duty Program.
A transitional duty program is when an injured employe is placed in temporary positions, tasks, or jobs that are less demanding than his or her original position. This assists in getting injured employees back to work sooner, but allows them to go through the healing process.
