A01118 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A1118
 
SPONSOR: Bronson
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to defining temporary total disability   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Defines temporary total as inability to perform the job, in which injured, or a job offered by the employer that has been modified to meet the abilities of the injured worker.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1. Subdivision 2, as amended by chapter 161 of the laws of 1966, is amended to read as follows: 2. Temporary total disability. In case of temporary total disability, which shall consist of the injured employee's inability to perform his or her at-injury employment or any modified employment offered by the employer that is consistent with the employee's disability, sixty-six and two-thirds per centum of the average weekly wages shall be paid to the employee during the continuance thereof, except as otherwise provided in this chapter. § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.   JUSTIFICATION: This legislation establishes a requirement for return to work programs in order to return injured workers to gainful employment and thus limit the use of the safety net. The provision will ensure that permanently disabled workers with significant injuries are provided with every opportunity to return to gainful employment, and adequate wage-replace- ment benefits if they are unable to do so.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A9955 of 2020: referred to labor   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None   EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.
