TEMPORARY PARTIAL DISABILITY - 2583.12

Employees released by their treating physician to part-time work qualify for temporary partial disability payments under certain conditions. The payments are calculated by State Fund on a weekly basis under the concept of "wage loss" (Labor Code 4654).

The employee is entitled to two-thirds of a weekly loss of wages if the gross wage (based upon the actual hours worked) is less than the normal gross wage and falls below the maximum rate set by law in any calendar week. Contact your local State Fund office for assistance.
