The difference between workers' compensation and SDI
SDI pays benefits to injured workers when the injury or illness is NOT related to work. Benefits are paid for a temporary period of time only.
Workers' Compensation, on the other hand, helps injured workers when their injury or illness is work-related. Workers' compensation also pays full medical bills including prescriptions and travel. In addition, workers' compensation pays benefits for permanent disabilities and provides retraining benefits when disabilities prevent a return to your regular work.
