WorkSafeBC Early Safe Return to Work Process Employee Information 

Injured at work? Air Canada is legislated to comply with the WorkSafeBC Early and Safe Return to Work Program.

In the event of an injury, the enclosed process must be adhered to:

1. Immediately report all work related injuries or illness to your immediate manager.

2. Seek medical attention and complete the  Functional Abilities Form (FAF).

3. Report to the Resource Office (PDC) within 24 hours (or your next scheduled shift) of the injury to discuss return to work options.

4. Your completed FAF must be given to a Resource office manager. Failure to do so may result in your pay cycle being disrupted. In all cases, your claim will be adjudicated by WorkSafeBC.

5. All shift changes, overtime, under-time and vacation will be restricted until you have medical clearance to return to work.

6. Travel is restricted until you have been given clearance to return to work.

If you have any questions please contact your Resource office manager.

From the first fourteen (14) calendar days of your absence you will be retained on the Company payroll at full salary. From thereafter until you return to duty, you may be eligible for income protection under the (C.S.S.T/W.S.I.B/W.C.B.) provided you have obtained and completed the necessary form(s) from them.

During your absence, all approved shift trades are cancelled until your return to duty. Therefore it is your responsibility to make alternate arrangements for all shift trades.

Please note that retention on the payroll for the first fourteen (14) calendar days is dependent upon acceptance of your claim by the (C.S.S.T/W.S.I.B./W.C.B.). It is therefore necessary that your complete the form(s) regardless of the length of time you are absent.

It is also important that you seek medical treatment since retention on the payroll and Worker's Compensation benefits are normally conditional upon medical proof of disability.

Separate from WorkSafeBC you may be entitled to additional benefits from our Group Disability Income Plan. To avoid a delay in processing, we recommend that you complete this form in accordance with the instructions and promptly forward it to:
