Disposition versions
170. Where no rehabilitation measure exists that may enable a worker to carry on his employment or an equivalent employment, the Commission shall determine, with the collaboration of the worker and of the employer, whether there is any suitable employment available with the latter, evaluating in particular whether any rehabilitation measures are required to enable the worker to carry on such an employment. If so, the Commission shall inform the worker and his employer of the existence, where that is the case, of a rehabilitation measure that may enable the worker to carry on that employment.
In the case of the first paragraph, the Commission, with the collaboration of the worker and of the employer, shall prepare and implement the appropriate vocational rehabilitation program, at the end of which the worker shall inform his employer that he has become able to carry on the available suitable employment.
The rehabilitation program may include other measures than those set out in section 167, such as adjusted tasks and changes to the work schedule or work organization, provided those measures do not alter the nature of the employment.
170. Where no rehabilitation measure exists that may enable a worker to carry on his employment or equivalent employment, the Commission shall ask the employer whether he has any suitable employment available and, if so, the Commission shall inform the worker and his employer of the existence, where that is the case, of a rehabilitation measure that may enable the worker to carry on that employment before the expiry of the period for the exercise of his right to return to work.
In the case of the first paragraph, the Commission, with the worker’s collaboration and after consulting the employer, shall prepare and implement the appropriate vocational rehabilitation program, at the end of which the worker shall inform his employer that he has become able to carry on the available suitable employment.
