Let's talk about it.
Medical leave, accommodation requests, and return-to-work questions often arrive when everyone is already stretched thin. California rules add layers of responsibility. We help employers manage the process thoughtfully, keep documentation organized, and communicate clearly.
Where we can help
- Leave administration and process guidance
- Documentation and tracking practices
- Interactive process coordination
- Accommodation and return-to-work planning
- Manager guidance and employee communications
Workers’ Compensation & Return-to-Work Coordination
A workplace injury can involve more than a workers’ compensation claim. Time away from work, medical restrictions, protected leave, and accommodation obligations may overlap. We help employers coordinate the HR side of these processes with care and consistency.
- Coordinating workers’ compensation absences with applicable FMLA, CFRA, ADA, and FEHA requirements
- Supporting interactive-process discussions and documentation when work restrictions or accommodations arise
- Helping managers evaluate modified-duty and return-to-work options
- Coordinating communications with employees, claims administrators, benefits partners, and employment counsel as appropriate
- Organizing HR records and timelines while protecting confidential medical information
Lacuna provides HR process and employment-practices support. We do not administer insurance claims, adjust benefits, make medical determinations, or provide legal advice.
How we approach it
We help you understand the process and stay organized while treating employee medical information with appropriate care. We can coordinate with benefits partners and counsel when needed.
