If your question is why is your workers compensation check smaller than your regular paycheck, then the answer is that under Maryland Workers Compensation, you are paid 2/3rds of your "average weekly wage." These payments continue as long as your treating physician provides work restrictions and your employer does not have a position available within those restrictions.

I strongly encourage you to consult with a Maryland Workers Compensation attorney to discuss your rights in further detail.
