Amanda (TeksMed Service): Employers should keep in mind they do not NEED to wait for medical to make an offer of suitable/modified work. They can base the offer off common-sense restrictions (Ie: one-handed duties for a left-hand injury). Also, other treatment providers can provide limitations or assist in reviewing modified work (Ie: Physiotherapist). As WCB receives more detailed medical at all assessments, if clarification is still needed one can always connect with WCB to obtain specific limitations or abilities.
