What needs to be included in a memo to stop or prorate time-loss benefits when a worker has been terminated?

Including the hours, days, and wages for modified work is essential in a memo to stop or prorate time-loss benefits upon a worker's termination. This information serves to clarify the specifics of the modified work that was previously available to the employee. It outlines the framework for any potential wage-loss calculations, indicating what the worker could have earned if they had been able to accept modified work opportunities.

By providing concrete details about the modified work, it demonstrates the employer’s commitment to accommodating injured workers whenever possible, and it supports the determination of any benefits owed to the worker based on their ability to earn a wage. This thorough documentation can also aid in ensuring compliance with regulations governing workers’ compensation and provide a clear record of actions taken regarding the worker’s employment status and related benefits.
