Q: FT emp in PA returning to work from on the job injury (broken wrist). Am I entitled to same schedule/hours as I had?
Ready to head back to work after months recovering from an on the job injury. Regardless of the employer having to cover me while I was gone aren't I entitled to the same schedule and/or amount of hours that I had before? Especially since the injury was not my fault?
A: You are not entitled to the same schedule or number of hours. If you still have restrictions due to the work injury and are working less hours, you may be entitled to an ongoing partial wage loss benefit.
