Return to Work Certification

The COVID-19 pandemic has left many workers requiring a medical leave to quarantine due to symptoms, exposure, or a COVID-19 diagnosis. Whether your medical leave was related to the Coronavirus or not, many employers will request a “Return to Work Certificate” signed by a licensed physician before allowing you to resume work.  If you need a return to work certification give us a call to schedule your in-person or video doctor visit: (858) 255-8325, or you can contact us online!

A Return to Work Certificate serves two purposes. First, it gives your employer an expert medical opinion as to whether or not your job duties are safe for you to perform after the illness or injury that necessitated the medical leave in the first place. Second, it allows you to follow up with a physician before returning to work to ask any additional questions about your illness or injury as well as any home or workplace modifications that need to be made to accommodate you. A Return to Work Certificate is an important step required by many employers to make sure that you’re able to safely perform your job responsibilities.
