Frequently Asked Questions About Disability Management

What is disability management in plain language?

It's a structured way to manage medical and disability-related leaves so employees receive support, leaves don't drift, and return-to-work happens safely and consistently.

Do you replace our benefits insurer or lawyer?

No. We don't provide legal or medical advice. We manage the HR and coordination side so processes, documentation, and communication stay organized.

Does this include EI Sick Leave?

Yes. We support EI Sick Leave (medical leave of absence) alongside employer-paid sick leave and disability programs.

How do you keep disability leaves from "drifting" with no endpoint?

We build a structured cadence: milestones, check-ins, functional updates (when appropriate), and a return-to-work pathway that's clear to the employer and employee. Return-to-work planning is most effective when communication and expectations are consistent.

What information do you need from us to start managing a leave?

Typically: job description and job demands, key dates, your sick/STD process (if any), benefits/insurer contacts (if applicable), and the employee's consent for any medical/functional information requests. We keep it "minimum necessary" and purpose-driven.

Can you support mental-health-related leaves and return-to-work?

Yes. We support these cases with the same structure: coordinated communication, functional focus, and a safe return-to-work plan (often gradual) that supports sustainability, without treating or diagnosing.

What if the employee isn't responding or the paperwork keeps stalling?

We help you set a reasonable communication plan, clarify responsibilities, document attempts, and keep the process moving with clear next steps, so you're not stuck in limbo.

What size of business is this designed for?

Renew-ABILITY is designed for small businesses that don't have internal HR or occupational health teams but still face real disability-related risk.
