Background

Employee medical leave scenarios are those times when an Employer must accommodate an Employee's need for extended time away from the job due to a personal medical condition.  From an employer perspective, these scenarios are very challenging to manage due to long and unknown time horizons, complexity of laws, and the challenges and costs of managing operations in the absence of the Employee.  

WorkforceWins' Methodology

WorkforceWins positions itself as the intermediary between the Employer, Employee and Medical professionals. We pro-actively manage each situation from beginning to end gaining Employer preferences at critical junctures and engaging external legal expertise as required.  We work with all parties to hold the employer and Employee to their obligations and to adhere to the best practices that are most likely to result in a successful re-integration of Employees into the workplace.
