How Axiom Medical’s Return to Work Clearance Works?

Our Axiom Medical nurses act as a guide for the injured employee throughout the entire recovery journey while also keeping the employer updated on his/her return status. In addition to evaluating an employee’s current disability and establishing appropriate treatment plans, the Axiom Medical team also manages all the necessary documentation, such as FMLA forms.

As a part of our Return-To-Work-Clearance Program, our team of registered nurses will determine when your employees are safe to return to work with a Fit For Duty Exam (FFD).

Fit for Duty Exam:

Employers must test their employees’ performance through clinical tests before returning to work, following an extended absence due to illness, surgery, or injury. Axiom Medical’s return-to-work Fit For Duty test helps:

• Employers determine if their employees can safely perform the essential job functions post-illness or injury.
• Such Fit for Duty exams test the injured body parts used in essential job duties.
• These evaluations will also help employers determine the next steps, including the employee’s return to his job, temporarily doing another job, and/or undergoing additional rehabilitation.

When Can An Employer Require A Fit For Duty Test?

Decrease work-related injuries that can occur upon an employee’s return to work with Fit For Duty exams. We encourage employers to conduct such testing under the following circumstances.

Post-Injury:

Fit-for-duty exams or tests are an essential part of a safe return to work after an injury. These return-to-work-clearance exams are conducted for employees following treatment, but prior to rejoining the workforce.  Company-based fit-for-duty exams performed for return to work are often referred to as “return-to-work or return-to-work-clearance exams.”

Pre-Employment:

Sometimes, employers may perform a Fit For Duty exam to evaluate an employee’s physical fitness capabilities for labor-intensive roles.  Such a pre-employment exam determines if the employee is physically and/or psychologically fit to safely perform tasks, including but not limited to lifting heavy objects overhead, maneuvering into small spaces, crouching, and bending for prolonged periods.
