Compensation Practice Directive: #C5-3 — Termination of Temporary Disability Benefits

The following is intended to clarify ongoing entitlement to temporary disability benefits in cases where the worker continues to be temporarily disabled but would not have been working in any event for reasons unrelated to the work injury. It clarifies whether benefits should continue to be paid in cases where a student was injured while working on a break from school, who has now returned to school but remains temporarily disabled.
