Transitional or modified job duties are alternative work tasks that are lighter in nature than your pre-injury job tasks. If your physician feels you are capable of work with restrictions, we encourage you to discuss this with your employer to determine if your employer is able to accommodate those restrictions. Transitional or modified work provides you with an opportunity to quickly and safely return to the workplace before you are ready to perform your pre-injury job. Transitional duty can help you to gradually work back up to your full job duties and allows you to maintain communication with your employer and co-workers.
