Light duty job offers in Texas Worker’s Compensation law

Often after an injury, an employer will seek to lower its cost by offering light duty to an employee. This can be a great advantage for both sides, as it gives the employees the ability to earn full pay potentially while still recovering from the injury, and it offers the employer the ability to reduce its Worker’s Compensation claim costs because income benefits are either not being paid out or being paid out at a reduced rate. This video discusses the requirements of a written bona fide offer of employment and what to look out for if you are offered light duty work. See the video here.
