ACC can support you as an employer when an employee is injured, whether it is work-related or not. We can help you deal with injured employees and create return to work programmes that are appropriate to the size of your business.
Managing injured employees
When employees have an injury claim and need time off work, there are certain actions that you need to take. We can work with you to ensure injured employees receive the right help from ACC.
Stay at work programme
When an employee is injured sometimes all it takes for them to recover in the workplace are minimal changes to their duties and perhaps physical support to enable them to get on with their job. Stay at Work uses a team approach to help people recover from an injury in the workplace.
Return to work programmes
Helping injured employees return to work is beneficial for your business and the employee. We have dedicated Injury Management Consultants who will work with you to get the best programme for your business and employees.
Accredited employers in the ACC Partnership Programme
If you are an accredited employer, you receive a reduction in levies in return for taking responsibility for your business’s health and safety management, claims management, rehabilitation and monthly reporting to ACC.
