Background Information
Claimant was still employed by the insured and had not been cleared to return to previous occupation. Our client was seeking a transitional opportunity falling under sedentary restrictions while the claimant healed from his injury. His duties at the insured included mowing lawns and general lawn upkeep. Claimant had a high school diploma.
Enter Workfinders USA
Insured could not accommodate modified restrictions so we were asked to keep the claimant engaged by finding volunteer work until he could return to the insured. During our initial assessment, the claimant was very cooperative and had no reservations about working within our Transitional program.
After finding an employer who could accommodate his physical and language restrictions, we scheduled a job interview. The interview went well and the claimant was offered 20 -25 hours per week as a Donation Sorter for a Thrift Store.
On Transitional cases, we follow up with employer for four weeks and report updates back to the referring adjuster.
Conclusion
It took Workfinders USA approx. two weeks to secure this opportunity. One employer was all that it took to place this claimant into a transitional role. The true value of our Transitional program is advocating directly to employers for claimants and being able to move quickly to get your claimants placed while in their healing phase.
