Document background
The Return To Work Full Duty Letter is a critical document used in Canadian workplaces when an employee returns to their regular duties after an absence. This document serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the employee's return date, confirms their ability to resume full duties, acknowledges any medical clearances received, and establishes clear expectations for both employer and employee. The letter must comply with various Canadian legislative requirements, including the Canada Labour Code, provincial employment standards, human rights legislation, and workplace safety regulations. It's particularly important for maintaining clear documentation for insurance purposes, workers' compensation claims, and human resources records. The letter should be issued when an employee has been cleared to return to their complete pre-absence duties without restrictions, whether following a medical leave, workplace injury, or other extended absence.
