Start getting the proper medical treatment you need and the help that you deserve. If there are two competing medical reports on the level of permanent disability, there is the option of having a trial on the issue. The California permanent disability rate is determined by calculating two-thirds of your average weekly wage.25 Though the maximum amount is much lower than most workers’ calculated rate. It will continue to send Alice temporary disability checks every two weeks until she goes back to work or is declared permanent and stationary. Temporary disability benefits are payments for your inability to work due to an injury. We know that any one claim or group of claims does not exist in a vacuum.
Executive officers and directors of corporations must be included in workers’ compensation coverage, unless the corporation is fully owned by the directors and officers.

With that being said, it’s important to understand also that you still have rights with regards to what type of job that you may be able to do for the employer. A question we sometimes get early in the process is whether or not a client will need to go to a hearing or to court if they file a Workers’ Compensation claim. For the most part, it will depend on how far your claim goes and what the Workers’ Compensation Board will require of you. I would say that, for the most part, most cases don’t actually go to hearing. Once you hire an attorney, the insurance carrier and the employer will work with us to make sure that you receive the treatment that you deserve.
Now, what temporary partial disability does is it continues to pay for those other four hours that you’re still unable to work as a result of your disability. In this circumstance, the employee, like I said, could go back and work part-time four out of eight hours. They were going to do that for about a two-month period and then they were going to move up to six hours and not be able to work two out of the eight hours. I explained to the client that at that point, you’ll receive your two hours of pay extra until you’re released to go back to your full eight hours a day. At that point, you wouldn’t be receiving any temporary partial disability. That’s an area of benefits which contemplates that you can’t work your full eight hours, but you can work a partial workday and how you’re going to be compensated for that.
