RTW PlaceRite® – Alternative Return-To-Work Network
Workers’ compensation claims do not get better with time. The longer an injured employee is off
work, the less likely he or she will recover from the injury. Most employers find it quite challenging to
accommodate all injured employees with restrictions, so RTW, Inc. has developed a solution called
RTW PlaceRite to assist with return-to-work challenges.
RTW PlaceRite® is a unique, safe and highly effective return-to-work solution designed to provide
temporary transitional light duty work for injured employees with restrictions, in situations where the
employer is unable to accommodate the injured employee. RTW PlaceRite® is a national network of
not-for-profit organizations that act as an extension of the employer’s return-to-work program.
RTW PlaceRite® is designed to keep the injured employee active with the ultimate goals of
shortening the disability duration and getting the injured employee back to their full-duty position, all
while providing meaningful work and giving back to the community.
Results:
 92% of injured workers benefits were ended within one week of referral
 94% placement success rate
 Average indemnity claim is reduced by 28 days.
 Transitional duty assignments located within 1-7 business days
 Assignments usually end within 90 days
How employers benefit from RTW PlaceRite:
 Reduces workers compensation costs/premium
 Demonstrates concern for the injured workers
 Positive public relations and community tax credits
 Supplement or Substitute for in-house return to work program
How to get started?
The process is very easy. Begin by going to (or clicking a link depending on website layout)
www.rtwi.com/placerite and create a user profile. An email with a username and password will be
immediately emailed to you. Login and complete the simple RTW PlaceRite® Referral Form.
Once you have submitted a referral, just click submit and our team will work on identifying a not-forprofit organization that can accommodate the injured employee’s restrictions within the statemandated criteria.
What happens next?
Once we’ve identified an appropriate return-to-work option we will provide and send the sample job
offer letter to the employer or TPA to be forwarded to the injured employee. But that’s not all you
receive, we will also provide time cards and driving directions from the injured employee’s home to
the not-for-profit location.
RTW will also conduct an attendance call to the not-for-profit on the first day and subsequent followup calls every two weeks. Placements are identified for most injured employees within 1-7 business
days of the referral being made. Additionally, we can add locations to our network based on the
employer’s needs at no additional charge.
