Not exactly - but you will need to speak with a Workers Comp lawyer to make sure you get the compensation you are legally entitled to.

Generally speaking, you are entitled to 2/3 of the difference between what you were earning and what your employer wants to cut your pay to. This would be paid as Workers Comp.
