But to hold the position that injuries need modified duties but sickness needs full time off makes no sense.
At best I can see it from the labour argument if that’s what the contract says so that’s how we do things but that isn’t a good way to form an opinion. So if you were redesigning a workers comp program would you advocate for modified duties or recover from home. Or if you were designing a sick leave program would you change anything from the pre-Covid come to work unless you are bed ridden philosophy that Jayswin appears to be advocating.
How would you improve the system?

It's almost like the employees need to come together, agree on a list of things they'd like to have from their employer, elect leaders to negotiate these things on their behalf, and be prepared to strike if they're not met. I wonder what that is?
