We are proud to announce that the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District has developed a new Transitional Work Program (TWP). A Transitional Work Committee comprised of members of management, non-union and union members has also been created to support the ongoing success and management of our newTransitional Work Program (TWP).

• Transitional Work is an interim step in the physical recovery of an injured worker who suffers a work-related injury. Transitional Work Programs structure a productive, compensated return to full duty using job tasks or a combination of tasks and functions that an individual with temporary work restrictions may safely perform. It also may utilize on-site based rehabilitation services to facilitate an injured worker’s return to full-duty. Transitional Work Programs combine real work activities with on-site based rehabilitation services as the principal means in the worker’s physical recovery. Transitional work allows employees recovering from a work related injury or illness to resume normal work and lifestyle activities sooner within an environment that supports a gradual return to full duty.
