What are temporary indemnity or compensation benefits and how do I qualify for them?
An injured employee is eligible for monetary benefits, referred to as “indemnity” or “compensation” benefits, once he or she suffers an accident arising out of and in the course and scope of employment and misses more than seven (7) days of work. He or she will be eligible for compensation benefits from the beginning of disability, if the injuries suffered in the industrial accident result in more than twenty-one (21) days out of work.
