What is Temporary Partial Disability Compensation (“TPD”)?
You are entitled to TPD compensation when you are temporarily unable to perform full duty because of an injury sustained on the job, but still to work light- or modified-duty. Weekly TPD benefits EQUAL two-thirds of the difference between your regular full duty pay and your after-tax light duty pay, tax-free. There is no time limit on the amount of time that you can collect TPD payments, provided a doctor excuses all your light duty.
