What are temporary disability payments?
If your are unable to work for more than 3 calendar days, you will get paid part of your lost wages. This 3-day “waiting period” will be paid, however, if your unable to work for more that 14 calendar days or are hospitalized as an in-patient. The amount of TD is generally two-thirds of your average weekly wages up to statutory cap determined by law. You will receive these temporary disability payments every two weeks during the time you qualify for the benefit.
