When It Is Used
Use it when the practitioner is evaluating whether a specific occupational goal is realistic and suitable enough to pursue, modify, or reject.
Person-Job Match Matrix
The Person-Job Match Matrix is a practitioner-only vocational rehabilitation tool for evaluating whether an injured worker's occupational goal is medically and vocationally suitable. Vocational rehabilitation practitioners use it to compare restrictions, skills, interests, and labor-market fit against job requirements and identify barriers that must be addressed.
Open the sample matrix and review the target job comparison.

Important Limitation
The matrix organizes practitioner-entered evidence and descriptive gaps. It does not calculate a suitability score, generate occupations, or make clinical, disability, compensation, or legal determinations.
History
Saved matrices preserve the target job, factor entries, gaps, barriers, and final decision at the time of review so later versions can be compared without overwriting the original reasoning.
Does this tool decide whether the job is suitable?
No. The practitioner selects the go, modify, or reject decision after reviewing the matrix; the system only organizes evidence and descriptive gaps.
Can I compare more than one target job?
Yes. The configuration supports comparing a single worker profile against one or more target jobs.
Is there a client form for the worker to complete?
No. This is practitioner-only; worker information can be entered or confirmed by the practitioner as profile evidence.
