NO, NO, NO, NO,. In case I forgot to mention, NO!

Please be very careful here. You can always go to work for someone else, but you have to let the IC know. Your monitary benifits will end, but your medical will continue.

If you are on temporary total disability then the doctor has taken you off all work.
discuss it with your doctor and you may be released to temporary partial disability that will allow you to do light or modified work within certain restrictions.
your disability will be reduced to account for the offset.
see page 26 of the handbook

If your caught doing any work, and any work you shouldn't be doing, the Insurance Carrier may try to demand all the money spent on you BACK. That is all medical payments, and any TTD checks. Oh, plus you lose the chance for a settlement.

TTD is temp TOTAL disability meaning you are saying you can't work. Doing work and trying to still draw this pay is just asking for trouble.
