| USC's employees are our most valued assets.
Their safety and well-being are a major concern for the university.
When our employees are injured or ill it is our desire to assist them in
a quick recovery and return to meaningful employment. Medical studies
indicate that some physical and mental activity early in the healing process
will actually speed recover. |
| The University of Southern California's Stay
at Work/Return to Work Program provides staff members, who have either an occupational
or non-occupational injury/illness and are unable to return to full regular
duties immediately, with a safe, timely transition back to work with modified
duties based on medical restrictions until released to full duties.
The Stay at Work/Return to Work Program does not apply to employees'
whose position has been posted and replaced. |
| The
program involves monitoring an injured employee's progress and identifying
temporary modified duties that are suited to physical capacity guidelines
established by the designated physician or medical provider.
