Not legally
Certainly. WC has two components: 100% coverage of med expenses for workplace injury and insurance benefits that pay for lost work time if incapacitated from doing the JOB ON WHICH YOU GOT INJURED.
SO you can earn income while getting med bills paid but no lost time benefit.
You can also earn income while getting lost time benefits, if you have a home business, a second job from which your doctor has not incapacitated you, or even weekend Reserve duty pay. You cannot work a job similar to the one you are paid not to work.
Worker's compensation laws vary by state. But in general, your existing compensation claim will remain open even if you get a new job. However, if you filed the claim because you are no longer able to do certain physical actions and then it is proven that you are doing these activities at your new job, this could be used as evidence against your claim.
If you are off work and on workman's compensation, you cannot work another job while collecting money for being unable to work.
You collect WC lost time benefits while a doc certifies you as unable to perform THE JOB ON WHICH YOU GOT INJURED, and no other job. Take a job within your medical restrictions and all is well.
Your not supposed to do that but how are they gonna find out? I mean Short Term Disability is about 66 2/3 percent of your salary and the burden of proof is on them. The only way an insurance company can find out is if someone reports you and/or something you do becomes public record otherwise, there isn't much of a way for the insurance company to find out. As far as I am concerned you have to do whatever you can these days to survive. Its a dog eat dog world.
No you can not, and you can get in a lot of trouble for doing so.
One week.
yes, but if you get caught, you will lose the workman comp payments In other words, you can't do it legally.
Worker's Comp MAY cover an injury from a motor vehicle accident IF the accident is arising from, and in the course and scope of your employment. It will NOT cover an injury sustained while merely commuting to work. However, someone such as a delivery driver that is hurt while delivering, IS covered.

no, workmens comp is for time lost due to injuries at work This would be a short term disability claim if you employer offers STD.
AnswerFederal law developed the work comp system and every state has a unique form of it. If you have a single employee, then you need work comp insurance. No matter the state. If the employee becomes injured, if you don't have work comp insurance they can sue your company and you personally for not carrying the work comp insurance.You can be a sole P, INC, LLC, or partnership and get work comp insurance. You can even get work comp insurance for yourself as an owner.Check with a local insurance broker to make sure you are following your states law.
Workmens comp. only covers work related accidents, you have to actually be doing your job when you are injured to get workmans compensation.
