43 Return to work obligations of worker
A worker who has current work capacity must, in cooperation with the employer or Corporation, make reasonable efforts to return to work in suitable employment or pre‑injury employment at the worker's place of employment or at another place of employment.
For the purposes of this section, a worker is to be treated as making a reasonable effort to return to work in suitable employment or pre‑injury employment during any reasonable period in which—
the worker is waiting for the commencement of any recovery/return to work services that are required to be provided under a recovery/return to work plan for the worker; or
the worker is waiting for a response to a request for suitable employment or pre‑injury employment made by the worker and received by the employer; or
if the employer's response is that suitable employment or pre‑injury employment will be provided at some time, the worker is waiting for suitable employment or pre‑injury employment to commence.
