Return to work information
The return to work (RTW) rate is the percentage of time lost by claimants who have been off work as a
result of their employment-related injury/disease and have returned to work at different points in time
from the date the claim was
reported (i.e. 4, 13 and 26 weeks for the Workers Compensation monthly
dashboard). RTW rates are calculated monthly for the last 13 months up to the date of data. The cohort
for each RTW measure is based on claims reported in a 12-month period, with a lag to allow for claim
development (i.e., the lag for the
4-week measure is 28 days; the lag for the 13-week measure is
91 days; and the lag for the 26-week measure is 182 days).
