We have been conducting business in ergonomics, disability management and vocational rehabilitation since 1990. Mr. Linder has worked as a worker's compensation VR counselor with Bay Area employers since 1981. Linder Consulting provides services to disabled individuals as well as companies of all sizes. Our primary goal is to make realistic recommendations which allow our clients to prevent industrial injuries and to minimize their impact when they do occur. Most times, we see that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
It makes economic sense to intervene early to mitigate the effects of employee injury rather than to take the legal and financial risks which are frequently associated with long-term disability. Employers who cannot offer modified work must hire and train a new person to assume the former duties of the injured worker. 2003-04 California Worker's Compensation places a stiff financial penalty on employers who do not offer eligible employees suitable permanent modified or alternative work. These negative scenarios are expensive, but they can be avoided.
Ergonomic sense makes economic sense!
Through our disability management services we create, for our employer clients, realistic temporary light duty and permanent modified work programs. Once established, these programs meet both the individual needs of the disabled worker and the business needs of the employer.
We at Linder Consulting are usually successful in accommodating injured employees through our ergonomic and disability management services. In some cases, however, this outcome cannot be achieved. We offer vocational rehabilitation and career counseling services at reasonable rates to California employees who qualify for the Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit (SJDB).
"You cannot bring about prosperity by
discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and
independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do
for themselves."
- Rev. William John Henry Boetcker
