The CAW and Jazz have developed the CAW Jazz
Benefits Representative position as a joint venture in recognition of the
uncertainty our members can have when entering the medical disability stream.
The Benefits Representatives are CAW members like you. They are available as a
resource that you can access if you have any questions or concerns. Their duties
and responsibilities will be as follows:
- Participate in the joint and cooperative
development of the Disability Management agreements.
- Represent the interests of sick or
disabled workers in a confidential manner.
- Help to establish the trust of the sick or
disabled workers which is essential to secure their participation in
Disability Management programs.
- Maintain regular contact and follow up
with sick or disabled workers.
- If requested, provide information and
support in case of a dispute.
- Assist in coordinating the rehabilitation
and help identify jobs suitable to the worker’s condition and capabilities
on return to work.
- Educate the membership on benefits.
