Re: hernia compensation

You do not get compensated because you have a work-related injury. You get compensated because you have some level of permanent disability as a result of your work-related injury. If your hernia does not produce any level of P.D., then you are only entitled to 66% of your regular rate of pay during your time off work.

Good Luck
