What if the employee can no longer do his or her regular job and must take a lower paying job once released to return to work?
The injured employee may be eligible to receive temporary partial disability benefits based on a reduction in earnings. The employee will receive two-thirds of the difference between the pre-injury and post-injury average weekly rates of pay not to exceed the rate provided by the Workers’ Compensation Act at the time of injury. These benefits will terminate when the employee’s average weekly wage is the same or greater than the pre-injury wage or upon a maximum payment of 350 weeks from the date of injury.
