Reintegration Trajectory in Case of Illness in Westland

The reintegration trajectory supports sick employees in their return to work, in their own role or an alternative suitable position.

Purpose of Reintegration

The main goal is to get a sick employee back to work as soon as possible, possibly in an adapted form or fully recovered.

First Track Reintegration

Return to work with the current employer, in the own function or another suitable role:

  • Own function, possibly with adjustments
  • An alternative suitable function
  • Gradual build-up of working hours

Second Track Reintegration

If return to the own employer is not feasible, work is sought with another organization:

  • Engaging a reintegration agency
  • Actively applying for new positions
  • Possible retraining or further training

Steps in the Process

  1. Week 6: Analysis of the situation
  2. Week 8: Drawing up an action plan
  3. Every 6 weeks: Evaluation moment
  4. Week 52: Evaluation after the first year
  5. Week 93: Final assessment and possible [WIA application](https://rechtshulpamsterdam.nl/encyclopedie/ziektewet-dagloon-berekening)
