Joint Rehabilitation Committee (JRC)
The COTR/CUPE Joint Early Intervention Program encompasses these key principles:
- Jointly Managed – The program is jointly managed by the Employer and the Union.
- Mandatory – An employee may be referred for participation in the JEIP when absent from work for five or more consecutive work days or where it appears that there is a pattern of consistent or frequent absence from work. If an employee is referred, the employee must participate in the JEIP.
- Rehabilitative – The JEIP is rehabilitative in nature.
- Confidential – The parties involved in the program will maintain confidentiality of all information.
