In these uncertain times of recession, many workers’ fear that their jobs may be in jeopardy. Some of those who face the greatest fears are those who have gone back to work on light or modified duty, as these jobs may be the first targeted when layoffs occur.

For these clients, you need to make sure your rights are protected. Under current case law, if an individual working restricted duty due to a work injury is laid off, the employer is obligated to reinstate wage loss benefits. In many of these cases, the employer will not do so voluntarily, and a petition to reinstate benefits must be filed.

It is for these above reasons that you’ll need to make sure your rights are protected in these shaky economic times. Make sure you contact your attorney if you are laid off to discuss your options and know what benefits you are entitled to receive in case of a layoff.
