Did You Know There Are 4 Types of Workers Compensation Benefits?

  1. Wage Replacement Benefits.
    Temporary total disability benefits are available to injured workers who temporarily cannot work due to their work injury or those who cannot find work due to the restrictions placed on them. This benefit is paid out at two thirds of their wage at the time of injury
  2. Permanent Partial Disability Benefits.These benefits are available for workers who have suffered a permanent disability such as a loss of a body part or its functioning due to a work related injury. The amount of this benefit is decided by the permanent partial disability rating.
  3. Vocational Rehabilitation Benefits.Vocational rehabilitation benefits are available for injured workers who require assistance in returning to their former job or a similar job in a different workplace. These benefits allow the provision of a number of programs such as retraining and on-the-job training.
  4. Medical Benefits.The employer and insurer are responsible for the payment of reasonable and necessary medical care and prescriptions for any workplace injuries. Depending on the injury this medical care can include surgery, hospitalization, physical therapy and chronic pain management.
