Dear Sirs:

The simple answer is "yes" although there are requirements which must be met by the employer before you can legally be laid off while on workmen's compensation disability.

Please call to discuss.

Many thanks,

You can be laid off BUT you should be paid TTD instead of "wages" depending on whether you are at MMI or not.

What is your current medical status and work status?
