When a worker partially returns to work as part of an authorised activity with their employer, a relapse will no longer trigger payment of guaranteed pay. This clarification aims to remove a concrete barrier to reintegration: an employer who allows a gradual return to work is no longer penalised in the event of a relapse. This encourages partial returns, which are often essential for regaining a routine, maintaining a connection with work and progressing towards more sustainable reintegration.
