Wyoming Agreement for Light Duty/Restricted Work

Wyoming employers use this Division form to make a written offer of temporary light-duty or part-time work to an injured worker released with restrictions. The treating provider certifies that the duties fit the worker's limits, and the worker accepts or refuses. A signed agreement lets the worker draw temporary light duty benefits alongside reduced wages and keeps the employer's account from being charged, as long as its terms are met.

Who completes it

The employer fills in the job terms (days, hours, wage, start date, duration, duties and maximum physical requirements) and signs the employer certification. The treating physician or other licensed provider signs the Health Care Provider Certification, confirming an exam and that the job fits the listed restrictions, and the employee accepts or refuses and signs.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Once all parties sign, each keeps a copy and the employer returns one to the Workers' Compensation Division, which cannot act until it has the signed agreement. The employer then sends payroll records or pay stubs by the 15th of the month after light duty wages are paid.
Who pays
The form sets no fee for the provider's certification; the Division's payments under it go to the worker as temporary light duty benefits, at 80% of the difference between light duty wages and pre-injury monthly earnings.

Good to know

  • The Division honors only its own form: under a verbal agreement or any other document, TTD continues in full and is charged to the employer's account.
  • If the worker refuses a bona fide written offer, TTD benefits drop to one third, and the employer's account is not charged if the Division's conditions are met, including approval by a licensed provider.
  • The agreement must state days per week, hours per day and the hourly rate, and the light duty assignment cannot exceed 12 months.
  • The anticipated date of return to unrestricted work can change with proper medical documentation, and the worker must report any change in restrictions with a written note from the provider.

Frequently asked questions

Who must approve light duty in Wyoming workers' comp?

The injured employee's treating physician or another licensed health care provider must certify that the offered work is suitable and accommodates the employee's physical restrictions. The Division's cover letter makes that certification, along with a written offer on its own form, a condition for the employer to qualify for account relief under W.S. 27-14-404(j).

What happens if a Wyoming worker refuses light duty?

If the worker refuses a bona fide written offer on the Division's form, TTD benefits are reduced to one third. The employer's account is not charged if a licensed provider approved the work, the agreement set days, hours and hourly pay, and the assignment does not exceed 12 months. The worker may note a reason for refusing.

Is an employer required to offer light duty in Wyoming?

No. The Division's cover letter says employers are not required to offer light duty but encourages it once a worker is released to light or part-time work. The worker then earns reduced wages plus temporary light duty benefits, paid monthly as temporary partial disability, and TTD ends once wages reach 95% of the pre-injury wage.
