Managing Absences: Workers' Compensation and Light Duty

 

There is no express right under the Workers’ Compensation Act that entitles employees who get workers’ compensation benefits to a leave of absence.

If it is determined that an employee sustained a workplace injury, they will probably be eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits. An employee who files a claim for workers’ compensation benefits may not be retaliated against for filing the claim, regardless of whether they collect any benefits. However, any leave entitlement following a workplace injury must be authorized pursuant to another statute or the employer’s policies. This video reviews how to avoid a retaliation claim, and discusses an employer’s light duty obligations.
