Are disability insurance or workers compensation payments earnable compensation?
Susan, an employee on unpaid disability leave, submits her workers’ compensation payments to her employer. The employer then issues Susan a check for the same amount through the payroll system. Even though the payment may have the appearance of compensation from the employer, it is not a payment for services provided and it is not earnable compensation.
