RE: Does anyone know??
First, so long as you are working with restrictions you are entitled to 2/3 of the difference between your time of injury average weekly wage and your actual earnings.

Second, DO NOT SIGN A SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT SUSPENDING YOUR BENEFITS. Unfortunately, many times an injured worker will be presented with such a document when the return to work and by signing the document you move the burden of proof from your employer to show that you no longer have a loss of earnings to yourself to prove that you do. Bottom-line, sign such an agreement and you will tie up your wage loss checks for the next 12-18 months.

Finally, if you receive a Notification of Suspension or Modification, see a lawyer immediately. You only have 20 days to challenge a suspension based upon the filing of this document after which you will find yourself faced with the shifting burden of proof set forth above.
