Evaluations
Fitness for Duty, Return to Duty & Workability Evaluations
Independent fitness-for-duty determinations, return-to-duty clearances and workability evaluations when safety, performance or return-to-work questions arise.
- Objective, defensible determinations
- Return-to-duty clearance after injury, leave or violation
- Workability and functional capacity documentation
When to refer
Refer when an employee's ability to safely perform essential job functions is in question — after an extended absence, following an injury or medical event, or when performance and safety concerns have a possible medical cause.
Return to duty
Clearance evaluations after injury, illness, leave or a safety-sensitive violation. We evaluate against the actual physical demands of the job, coordinate with treating providers when documentation is thin, and give the employer a decision they can act on the same day.
- Return to work after injury, surgery or extended leave
- DOT and safety-sensitive return-to-duty evaluations
- Modified duty recommendations and follow-up
Workability and functional capacity
Workability evaluations translate clinical findings into practical capability — lifting, standing, reaching, exposure tolerance — so placement and accommodation decisions rest on evidence rather than assumption.
- Physical demands matching
- Temporary and permanent restriction determinations
- Accommodation feasibility input
What you receive
A written determination that states whether the employee can perform the essential functions of the job, any restrictions and their expected duration, and what reassessment (if any) is recommended — without disclosing unnecessary clinical detail.
