1
HOW TO DETERMINE WHO WILL PAY ME IF I'M INJURED
ON THE JOB AND UNABLE TO WORK
2
Understand your Employer's Workers'
Compensation Policy
- Workers' comp is insurance that employers are
required by law to carry in order to provide
medical care and lost wages for employees who
have been hurt or become ill while working.
3
Find out what benefits you are entitled to under
the law
You may be entitled to receive weekly payments
from an insurance company or workers'
compensation fund. These funds will pay some of
the costs associated with being unable to work
as well as provide financial support until you
can return to work.
4
Know what deductions are taken from your paycheck
You should always keep track of all the money
coming in and going out of your bank account.
That way when an emergency strikes or something
unexpected happens, such as being injured at
work and unable to return to work again, it will
be easy for someone else to take over managing
your finances until they get back on their feet.
5
Consider how long it will take you to recover
and return to work
You should also know that there are limits on
the amount of time you may receive temporary
disability (TDI) payments after an injury or
illness, as well as maximum amounts for
permanent disability (PD).
6
Determine whether or not you can afford to be
off work for an extended period of time
By understanding your rights as a worker in PA,
you can make informed decisions that will help
protect yourself financially during times when
youre unable to work due to injury or illness.
7
Secure Your Position
- Understand that if you choose not to claim
disability payments while on leave, then when
you do return back to work there is a chance
that your position may have been filled by
someone else with more seniority than yourself
(which means they would most likely get priority
over any open positions)
