Elo’s vocational rehabilitation refers to methods that can be used to reduce the risk of incapacity for work and to support the employee’s ability to maintain or restore their work ability when they are at risk of becoming incapacitated for work.
If an employee is partially or fully incapacitated for work for at least one year due to their state of health, they may apply for a disability pension. Depending on the degree and duration of the reduced work ability, the form of the pension is a disability pension, rehabilitation subsidy, partial disability pension or partial rehabilitation subsidy.
A rehabilitation benefit may be a rehabilitation allowance or a rehabilitation increment, depending on the employee’s situation. The rehabilitation increment is paid instead of the rehabilitation allowance if the employee is already receiving rehabilitation subsidy or partial rehabilitation subsidy. Rehabilitation benefits are paid to an employee who is participating in workplace-based rehabilitation or training. If the employee is in unpaid workplace-based rehabilitation, the rehabilitation benefit is paid to the employee. If the employee is in paid workplace-based rehabilitation, the rehabilitation benefit is paid to the employer for the part corresponding to the wages.
Rehabilitation benefits do not create any costs for your company.
