How is my pay affected under a workers compensation claim?

0

There are various legislated limits that can affect the level of a staff members pay under a workers compensation claim. Two of the common limits are briefly described below; • Whilst a staff member remains unfit for work there is a maximum level of wages that can be claimed. If your wage exceeds this level then OHS & Injury Management will advise you of this and discuss any possible options to maintain your salary. • Once a staff member has claimed 26 weeks of wage benefits for complete or partial incapacity under a claim, they are only entitled to claim a statutory wage rate from that point for any ongoing periods of time they remain unfit for work. Staff are notified by OHS & Injury Management if they are nearing this point in their claim.
