Wage subsidy may be activated by the employer at injury as follows:

1. (1) The job must be within the worker’s injury-caused restrictions. If a worksite modification is necessary to meet this requirement, wage subsidy will be deferred until:

   1. (a) The worksite modification is complete; or
   2. (b) The employer accommodates the worker’s injury-caused restrictions while waiting for the worksite modification to be complete.
2. (2) The employer must complete and sign Form 2190, “Preferred Worker Wage Subsidy Agreement,” and submit it to the division in the time frames allowed in OAR 436-110-0290(1).
3. (3) The completed and signed job offer required in OAR 436-110-0290(2) must accompany the request for wage subsidy benefits, unless it was already submitted with another request.
4. (4) The employer at injury may use wage subsidy once during an eligibility period.
