@Afraser They were fortunate to have someone to advocate for them. I returned to work early this year, but from the time I started back I had no support from management, he wouldn't sign my Graduated Return to Work forms, so then my adjusted roster was out of date and I had to keep going back to the Doctor for her to fill out new ones, in the meantime I wasn't getting paid by either the department or income protection, the dr and ip case manager were both supportive but as frustrated as me with his behavior, I fought it for a while, then decided I no longer had the energy for it and retired. It's good they have these resources, unfortunately I didn't know about these fact sheets at the time. Sorry about the long rant but i'm still disappointed that after more than 20 years I felt like I was pushed out.
