Is an injury a lost time injury if the employee has been released to restricted duty but is on suspension during an accident investigation?

An injury is typically classified as a lost time injury if the employee is unable to perform their regular duties due to the injury. In this case, since the employee has been released to restricted duty, it may not be considered a lost time injury, as they are still able to work in some capacity. However, if the suspension is related to the injury and prevents the employee from returning to work altogether, it may complicate the classification. Ultimately, the specific policies of the organization and local regulations will determine the final classification.
