48. Where a worker who has suffered an employment injury is again able to carry on his employment after the time prescribed to exercise his right to return to work, he is entitled to the income replacement indemnity provided for in section 45 until he returns to his employment or an equivalent employment or until he refuses, without valid reason, to do so, but not for more than one year from the date on which he is again able to carry on his employment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity shall be reduced by any amount paid to the worker by reason of the cessation of his employment under an Act of Québec other than this Act, or of any other.
