Return-to-work plan redaction is the removal of health details from a transition schedule governed by ADA §12112(d). The statute limits medical inquiries of workers. anonym.plus marks each clinical item on your device, so a supervisor sees the duty limits while the diagnosis stays private.
When this applies
A transition schedule lists tasks the worker may resume and any restriction. You trim the diagnoses and provider data before a supervisor receives it.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the schedule in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned clinic note.
- The tool flags conditions, providers, and contacts.
- Keep the duty limits and the timeline.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The transition schedule (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the timeline readable).
- Optional allow-list for the duty-limit lines.

Limitations & cautions
A duty limit can imply a condition even with the diagnosis removed. The tool flags clinical fields, yet context may still hint at health status. Share only what the role requires.
Frequently asked questions
What may a supervisor see here?
Usually the duty limits and the timeline, not the diagnosis. ADA §12112(d) keeps the medical basis confidential, which the tool flags.
Can it keep the duty-limit lines?
Yes. Allow-list those lines so they stay while diagnoses and provider data are removed.
Is the file uploaded?
No. The app is fully offline, so the schedule stays on your device.
