Return to Work Manual    

When an employee is injured, the Fund's Return to Work Manual will assist all parties with procedures that ensure a safe return to work in the shortest possible time in a way that is compatible with work limitations during the period of disability.

This manual includes tools and sample documents, including the DWC-74: Description of Injury Employee's Employment and Sample Bona Fide Offer of Employment, designed to help you establish a program or improve an existing program. The sample information can easily be adapted to fit your needs.

Sample Bona Fide Offer    

The sample Bona Fide Offer of Employment is used to offer modified duty to those injured workers who have been released to some sort of capacity as outlined on the DWC-73: Work Status Report. This document is available to WC Fund members through the Return to Work Manual.

The Fund WC Briefcase    

Keeping up with workers' compensation law and the Texas Department of Insurance: Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) rules can be an arduous task. Each legislative session can produce new laws requiring new forms and/or rules to be adopted by DWC. In order to assist WC members with claim reporting and compliance, the Fund has created a collection of on line training documents called the "Fund WC Briefcase."

Each time a law change or form adoption associated with workers' compensation occurs, a new Fund Brief will be posted behind myTASB for your reference. Whether you are a workers' compensation veteran or a newcomer, you will find the Fund Briefs timely and valuable.
