temporary partial disability (TPD)
In a workers’ compensation case, disability that prevents an injured worker, whose condition is not yet permanent and stationary, from performing all or part of his or her work duties but does not completely prevent the worker from working and earning some money. Partial TPD payments are based on a calculation of a percentage of the portion of earnings lost.

US: An employee may be eligible for temporary partial disability when he or she is able to do some work but is still recuperating from the effects of the injury, and is, thus, temporarily limited in the amount or type of work which can be performed compared to the pre-injury work.
