What wage-loss benefits are available to me in the event that I miss time from work as a result of a work injury?
If you are disabled for seven days or more, including weekends, you are entitled to receive wage-loss benefits. If your disability lasts for more than fourteen days, you are entitled to receive compensation for the first seven days of disability. To qualify for benefits, the lost workdays need not be consecutive. Furthermore, if you are working in a light duty position as a result of your injury, you are considered disabled and you are entitled to partial disability benefits if your disability exceeds seven days.
