A return-to-work report is a complete set of documents including the employee's medical information relating to the return-to-work plan (‘re-integratietraject’). The medical information form will have been filled out by the occupational health physician (‘bedrijfsarts’). The return-to-work plan will have been drawn up by you, or by the occupational health and safety service (‘arbodienst’).

You can upload the return-to-work report in the employer portal (‘werkgeversportaal’). You will need your eHerkenning account to do this. To make sure the WIA application is assessed as quickly as possible, please do the following:

• upload the return-to-work report within 1 day after the employee has applied for a WIA benefit
• select the correct document in the document overview
• sign each document 
• check that the employee’s citizen service number (‘BSN’) is written on each document

Please note: You may upload the general documents. However medical documents are strictly confidential and must be submitted to us directly by the employee, and never by the employer.

We will send the employee a confirmation letter within 2 weeks of receiving the documents for the WIA application, you will also receive a copy. If the return-to-work report is incomplete, the letter will state which documents are missing and the deadline by which we need to receive them.
