FAQ
You must report your work related injury immediately to a person in supervisory authority at your place of employment. You have 120 days to properly report your work injury.
For temporary injuries, you'll receive 66% of your average weekly wage for 90 days. For long-term injuries (or “permanent disability”), the PA Workers' Compensation Act entitles injured employees to at least 104 weeks (or 2 years) of wage loss benefits.
SECTION 306 (f.1)(1)(i) The employer shall provide payment in ance with this section for reasonable surgical and medical services, services rendered by physicians or other health care providers, including an additional opinion when invasive surgery may be necessary, medicines and supplies, as and when needed.
In Pennsylvania, the 90-day rule mandates that you initially seek medical treatment from designated panel physicians for the first three months following your on-the-job injury. Failure to do so may result in the denial of Workers' Compensation benefits.
In Pennsylvania, an injured worker has up to 120 days to provide notice of an injury to their employer.
Workers' compensation wage loss benefits are calculated based upon what is called the injured worker's “average weekly wage.” The average weekly wage is generally 2/3rds of the amount a worker had earned before getting hurt on the job. There are exceptions to this rule.
If your employee has a work-related injury or illness, you should seek medical care for them. Your employee should file a report with the company to start the workers' compensation process. After getting their report, you can start documenting and gathering information about their injury or illness.
Section 319 of the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act provides the statutory authority for the Employer to subrogate to a third party action. The Employer's subrogation interest is a creature of statute, as opposed to an equitable or contractual right to subrogation.
ERISA stands for Employee Retirement Income Security Act, which is a federal law that sets minimum standards for retirement plans in the private sector. Non-ERISA plans, on the other hand, are not governed by ERISA and are not subject to its regulations.
There is no minimum number of employees that a business must have for ERISA law to apply. Employers must follow ERISA rules when developing and implementing a retirement and/or health benefits plan. They are required to clearly spell out details of the plan's features within a Summary Plan Description (SPD).
