This Study aims to investigate the patterns and causes of the time to re-employment of the injured workers after a claim closure. This study uses workers’ compensation panel data. The life table method is used for describing the patterns of the time to re-employment after a claim closure. And the Cox regression is used to identify significant factors on the time to re-employment after a claim closure. The results show that among injured workers except original return-to-work, the 6% re-employed within 1 month, 21% within 6 months, 41% within 1 year, 69% within 2 years, 78% within 3 years after a claim closure. And the Cox regression results of the time to re-employment show that the time to re-employment was affected by gender, age, marital status, certificate, claim duration, disability ratings, and the level of health recovery, but wasn’t affected by education level, job, employment type, income before injury, occupational rehabilitation services, and socio-psychiatric rehabilitation services. As a result, some implication and policies are suggested for reducing the time to re-employment and promoting re-employment of the injured workers.
