I have a part-time job, can I continue working there?

You were injured at your full-time job, and will be out for several weeks. You also have a part-time job, can you continue working there. How does this second job affect your benefits? You would be required to report your earnings from the second job to the insurer for your full-time job. The insurer would pay you partial benefits (§ 35), compensating you for a percentage of your lost wages. This compensation would probably be less than what you would have received under § 34, temporary total benefits. (§ 35 benefits are capped at 75% of what a person's § 34 benefits would be.) You would have to be covered by workers' compensation insurance under Massachusetts law at your second job for the income to be included in your average weekly wage (i.e. - if you had a second job with the federal government, that income would not count towards determining benefits under state law.)
