Legal Question in Workers Comp in Pennsylvania

Health care contrib while on comp

That sounds like an awfully high employee contribution for health insurance. Did you pay that much while working, or are they asking to you to pay the entire premium while you're out?

Unfortunately, as far as the workers' comp law goes, while an employee is disabled from an injury, the company is obligated to pay medical expenses and weekly comp (at 2/3 of average wages) but has no obligation to maintain fringe benefits. There may be some other basis for you to get some relief on that score, and maybe it's worth examining how they figured your weekly wages (it should be gross, before any taxes or other deductions).

Maybe there's a contract, or leave policy, or some other provision which would help.

The above does not constitute legal opinion and is offered for the purposes of discussion only. The law differs in every jurisdiction, and you should not rely on any opinion except that of an attorney you have retained, who has a professional duty to advise you after being fully informed of all the pertinent facts and who is familiar with the applicable law.
