Re: work related issue and second employer
Yes, in my opinion.
If you are removed from both jobs and your first employer knows about your "second" job, then they have to pay you TTD checks based upon the average weekly wage of BOTH employers combined - it is called concurrent employment.
However, if you have a work restriction that would cover only the first job, it would be my recommendation that you attend the second job.
I would also inform the insurance carrier about both jobs, so that they know the correct amount of your average weekly wage and your permanency settlement is correct.
Good luck,
