Q: If I have a workers compensation injury and return to work at light duty but I am paid less money, am I entitled to anything?
A: Yes. If you suffer a workers compensation injury and thereafter, you are temporarily totally disabled, at some point you may return to work at light duty. If your employer puts you back to work at light duty but pays you less money than what you were earning at the time of the accident, you are entitled to temporary partial disability benefits. This is defined as the two-thirds of the difference in the pre-injury and post-injury wages.
