Can an injured employee accumulate both Restricted Work Days and Lost Work Days?
Yes, but not at the same time. Follow the physician’s order and record the days that the physician states are required as restricted and required as days away from work. For example: An employee may not be able to work for (10) days based on a physician’s order and then returned back to work on modified duty for (10) days before returning to full-duty. In this case the accident would have (10) restricted days and (10) lost days.
