Light-Duty Jobs Keep Injured Workers and Workers’ Comp Costs Healthier
Stay At Work: A win-win for injured workers and employers.
Attention Moses Lake Chamber Members!!
What do you do when an employee gets hurt? How do you support them while managing costs?
Workplace injuries top the list of issues faced by most employers.
How would you like to create a win/win for both your business and your injured worker? You can do just that by creating a medically approved light duty job if your worker is unable to immediately return to their regular job.
Why? Studies show that workers heal faster when working a light duty job at the workplace. That’s a win for the employee. Employees who heal faster tend to have less expensive claims and are able to return to their regular jobs faster. That’s a win for the employer.
Here’s an added employer benefit - the Washington Stay At Work Program can reimburse you for a significant part of the costs during that light-duty assignment at no cost to the claim.
The Stay At Work Program can reimburse:
When: | Monday, August 29, 2016 |
Where: | Labor & Industries – Moses Lake Regional Office 3001 W. Broadway Avenue |
Time: | 10 – 11:30 a.m. |

Workplace injuries are costly. Costly to the business, and to the injured worker. But do you know that Labor & Industries (L&I) helps interested employers with the costs of supporting an injured worker in medically-appropriate light-duty during recovery?
Washington’s Stay at Work Program reimburses eligible employers up to $10,000 in wages for light-duty or modified jobs provided to injured workers during their recovery.
Using modified or light-duty as the foundation for building a return-to-work program at your job sites can save your business money while helping valued employees recover after a workplace injury.
