Question
What happens if an employer cannot provide suitable duties to an injured worker?
Answer
As the worker, you should contact the insurer and tell them your employer cannot offer suitable work. A weekly benefit will be paid to you whilst you are actively seeking work or undergoing approved rehabilitation training.
The Insurer should tell you what you are expected to do.
You must:
- take reasonable steps to find suitable work with some other employer and if you find suitable work you must accept it or your workers compensation benefits will be stopped;
- be willing to accept work that is within your abilities and circumstances
OR
- undertake rehabilitation and/or re-training needed to improve your chances of getting suitable work.
