Are they paying me the right amount for my time off?
When you are taken off work by your doctor as a result of your workers' compensation injury, or when your hours are reduced, you are entitled to receive certain pay. Generally, when you are totally off, you should receive 2/3 of your average weekly wage. This is called "temporary total disability" or TTD. You could receive temporary partial disability, or TPD, for your partial time off. Of course, how this "average weekly wage" is calculated is one of those things that seems straightforward, but it is often something that experienced lawyers still have to debate , depending on the situation, since certain weeks of the six months before you worked may be excluded from it, and since you may have received "other compensation" in addition to regular wages that may or may not be included.
