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.
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.
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.
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).
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 you’re unable to work due to injury or illness.
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)
