\"Checklist\"A Form 28<\/a> in a workers\u2019 compensation case is a Return to Work Form<\/strong>.\u00a0 This form is usually\u00a0completed\u00a0by your employer or their workers’ compensation insurance company and states that under the Workers\u2019 Compensation Act, an employee can return to work.\u00a0 What it means is that you as the employee have reached your maximum level of improvement medically, and your treating physician has stated you can return back to your old position (or something similar). This form is only if you are okay to return to work like normal, and this is not a trial return to work, it also means that you meet one of the exclusions contained in North Carolina Industrial Commission Rule 404A(7).<\/p>\n

What does that mean for you?\u00a0 This means that since you have been given the \u201cOK\u201d to go back to work, you will no longer receive your disability compensation.\u00a0 If your doctor is still \u201ciffy\u201d on sending you back to work at 100% of your capacity, you are entitled to return on a trial basis which is not to exceed 9 months; unless you have been released by your doctor for unrestricted work in which your trial return may be limited to only 45 days.\u00a0 During this trial period, you may be entitled to partial disability compensation if you earn less in wages now than before your injury.\u00a0 This is only if this is caused by your on-the-job injury.\u00a0 If this is the case a separate form (Form 28T<\/a>) must be filled out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
