WCB Saskatchewan PRTW: Practitioner's Return to Work

Treating practitioners use this WCB Saskatchewan report to set out an agreed return-to-work plan for a worker with temporary restrictions. It gives the start date and anticipated end date, the employer contact and a four-week calendar of daily hours, restrictions and comments. Copies go to the employer, the primary practitioner and the WCB, which adjusts income replacement as the worker's hours and duties change.

Who completes it

The treating practitioner, often the therapist monitoring the worker's progress, completes and signs the plan, and the employer and worker sign to verify it. The user manual says the care provider may sign all three lines as verification that everyone is aware of and has agreed to the plan.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Complete it online alongside a CHI, PTI, CHP or PTP report, or print and sign the PDF and mail or fax it, one week before the return to work; copies go to the employer, primary practitioner and worker.

Good to know

  • WCB guidance expects most return-to-work plans to last under four weeks unless there are unusual shift lengths, heavy industrial demands, a highly repetitive job or recent surgery.
  • For plans longer than four weeks, give a rationale, an anticipated end date and the week the worker is expected to return, which the case manager uses to pay wage loss.
  • Requests to change the plan go to the therapist, who evaluates them, adjusts the plan if needed and forwards amendments to all parties.
  • Each week lists the dates, hours for each day from Sunday to Saturday, the restrictions to job duties and any comments or concerns.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a WCB Saskatchewan return-to-work plan last?

The PRTW user manual expects most plans to be under four weeks, unless there are unusual circumstances such as unusual shift lengths, heavy to very heavy industrial work, a highly repetitive job or a post-surgical worker. Longer plans need a rationale, the remaining weeks submitted after the first four, and an anticipated end date.

Who signs the PRTW?

The practitioner, the employer and the worker each have a verification signature line. The user manual says the care provider may sign all three as verification that all parties are aware of, and have agreed to, the return-to-work plan. The form asks you to print and sign it before mailing or faxing.

Does the PRTW affect the worker's wage-loss benefits?

Yes. The memo on the form explains that the WCB adjusts the level of income replacement as the worker's duties and hours of work change, and the manual notes the case manager uses the expected return week for payment of wage loss. Care providers monitor and progress the plan based on objective clinical findings.
