“Entitlement to benefits under the worker's compensation act is based upon the claimant's ability or inability to earn wages. Under La.R.S. 23:1221(3)(c)(i), if an employee is not working, then the employer must prove that employment which the claimant is physically able to perform has been offered or is available. Tassin v. CIGNA Insurance Company, 583 So.2d 1222, 1226 (La.App. 3d Cir.1991) (citations omitted).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“if the employee is not employed or self employed or is earning less than he is able to earn, the employer must then show the employee is physically capable of performing employment which is offered or available.”
