New York bill A08189 amends workers' compensation law to clarify benefits for temporarily partially disabled workers.

New York bill A08189 amends the workers' compensation law to clarify that workers who are temporarily partially disabled are entitled to benefits at a reduced rate. This benefit is payable during the continuance of the disability, unless the worker's separation from employment is unrelated to the compensable injury. The compensation is calculated as two-thirds of the difference between the worker's average weekly wages before the accident and their wage earning capacity after the accident. The act takes effect immediately.
