The medical report is central
A work-status report can say the worker cannot do the usual job, can do modified work, or can return. Keep each report beside the employer response and payment history.
Payment notices explain the path
California Labor Code §4650 addresses timing of compensation payments and related notices. The applicable rate and duration depend on the governing statute and the facts.
Track changes, not just totals
A stop, reduction, or resumption should have a dated reason. Compare the notice with the current medical report and any work offered.
File practice: save the notice, date served, and document that explains the next step. A reference page cannot decide an individual claim.
