Yes, eligible employees receive statutory wage replacement payments while on workers' compensation, provided an authorized medical practitioner certifies them as totally or partially incapacitated for work due to a workplace injury. These payments do not usually equal 100 percent of normal take-home pay; instead, they are calculated based on pre-injury average weekly earnings (PIAWE), offering a high percentage initially (such as 95 percent for the first 13 weeks in Victoria) before scaling down to standard statutory thresholds.
