Modified Duty Site Resource Center

AGC has the most advanced return-to-work services in the state. Both Labor and the Department of Labor and Industries (LNI) recognize the curriculum and the Modified Duty Site Resource Center program as meaningful and viable temporary transitional work. We have four “centers” located throughout the state: Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and Everett. We also contract with FACT Consulting and provide a center in Yakima.

For injured employees restricted from travel, or for employers desiring to have the employee at their office, we have the same safety curriculum portable for use at any location. AGC Retro consultants send the job analysis & list of duties to the doctor and the job offer letter to the worker (directions to the classroom, etc.). For an employer packet click here.

• Onsite labor at a reduced rate. LNI pays the difference in wages in what is called Loss of Earning Power (LEP) benefits.
• Indemnification in the even the person sustains a new injury or aggravates their old injury in the course of their employment with you (via the LNI Preferred Worker Program) for up to three years.
• Low LNI costs for up to three years via the Preferred Worker Program. You only pay the Supplemental Pension Fund for the person's hours and do NOT pay the Accident Fund of the Medical Aid Fund premium.
• The person participating in the OJT doesn't have LNI Medical Aid premium taken from their paycheck for up to three years.
