**Fair remuneration:** Medical services are reimbursed with CHF 100 by the employer or the insurance company. - **Low administrative outlay:** reWork profile with a SIM certificate of capacity to work and clear invoicing. - **Practical assessment:** a realistic assessment of the actual workplace requirements supports an individually tailored return-to-work process. - **Individual return-to-work planning:** the reWork profile helps to design a thorough return-to-work process that is tailored to the individual. - **Resources instead of deficits:** the focus is on available resources and not diagnoses or deficits. - **Holistic approach:** psychosocial factors are also taken into account to promote a sustainable return to work. - **Duty of care and support:** the profile supports the fulfilment of the duty of care and ensures employees can return to work while preserving their health. - **Long-term job security:** a resource-oriented approach actively supports job retention. ## Creating a reWork profile with a certificate of capacity to work in three steps ![Infographic\_3\_EN](https://rework.compasso.ch/hubfs/Infographic_3_EN.svg) **100% incapacity to work due to illness or accident – the situation:** - An employee has been unable to work for some time. - You would like to reinstate this person in the company, even if this is only possible on a part-time basis. - Since it is unclear which activities are possible, a medical assessment of the available resources/abilities should be considered. - This is how to find out which workload is reasonably possible from a health perspective without jeopardizing the recovery process and where the employee's individual limits of resilience lie. The employer and employee complete the reWork profile together. The reWork profile will be presented to the medical profession at the next doctor's visit. The reWork form can be submitted either on paper or as a fillable PDF. The doctor assesses medical reasonableness: - by assessing the partial capacity to work and issuing a SIM certificate of capacity to work. - by determining a reasonable partial capacity to work by comparing functional deficits / assessing resources. - through the use of assessment categories: 1\. possible 2\. not possible 3\. possible with restrictions If the employee has a partial capacity to work, a gradual return to the workplace is possible. ## Assessment by the employee’s treating physician The reWork profile has been discussed and completed jointly by the employer and the employee. The focus is on strengthening and mobilising existing skills to enable a successful return to work, with an straightforward description of workplace requirements and framework conditions. As a doctor, you are now invited to supplement your medical assessment with regard to reasonable expectations from a medical standpoint in order to support the best possible return to work for your patient. First and foremost, this involves assessing the resources or areas of activity selected with regard to reasonable expectation/possibility: ![](https://rework.compasso.ch/hs-fs/hubfs/Arrow-png.png?width=15&height=14&name=Arrow-png.png)  Possible: the patient is healthy enough to meet the requirements without any restrictions. ![](https://rework.compasso.ch/hs-fs/hubfs/Arrow-png.png?width=15&height=14&name=Arrow-png.png)  Not possible: the requirements cannot be met for health reasons. ![](https://rework.compasso.ch/hs-fs/hubfs/Arrow-png.png?width=15&height=14&name=Arrow-png.png)  Partially possible: the requirements can be met with certain adjustments. If a change in capability is to be expected, a date for a reassessment can be specified. You can also provide information on supporting framework conditions to enable a sustainable return to work.   ###### To reWork profile ###### Savings calculator: reduction in continued salary payments ## Subscribe to our newsletter \*Mandatory field [![compasso\_foot](https://139519870.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/139519870/compasso_foot.svg "compasso_foot")](https://rework.compasso.ch/) Hegibachstrasse 47 8032 Zürich [info@compasso.ch](mailto:info@compasso.ch) [044 225 80 30](tel:410442258030) [![linkedin](https://139519870.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/139519870/hubfs/linkedin.png?width=50&height=50&name=linkedin.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/compasso2/) ## Links - [Professional reintegration](https://reintegration.compasso.ch/reintegration) - [Institutions/partners](https://reintegration.compasso.ch/partner) - [reWork profile](https://rework.compasso.ch/en/) - [Reintegration process](https://reintegration.compasso.ch/instrumente) - [Studies on mental health](https://reintegration.compasso.ch/instrumente) - [Compasso main page](https://www.compasso.ch/) - [Successful real-life examples](https://www.compasso.ch/praxisbeispiele) - [Cooperation with system partners](https://www.compasso.ch/schnittstellen-systempartner-mit-arbeitgebenden/was-machen-systempartner) ## Become a Compasso member Compasso is a national information portal and network for employers on job retention and professional integration.
