Summary

Existing law establishes a workers' compensation system, administered by the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation, that generally requires employers to secure the payment of workers' compensation, including medical treatment, for injuries incurred by their employees that arise out of, and in the course of, employment. Existing law provides certain methods for determining workers' compensation benefits payable to a worker or his or her dependents for purposes of temporary total disability, temporary partial disability, permanent total disability, permanent partial disability, and in case of death. Existing case law provides that temporary disability payments cease when: (1) the employee returns to work, (2) the employee is deemed medically able to return to work, or (3) the employee's medical condition becomes permanent and stationary. This bill would require that an employee be deemed to be temporarily partially disabled during the period when the employee's disability is permanent and stationary, no more than 60 days have elapsed after the date the employee was informed that his or her disability is permanent and stationary, the employer has not offered the employee regular, modified, or alternative work, and the employer has not informed the employee that it will not offer the employee regular, modified, or alternative work.
