WHEN DO LOST TIME BENEFITS START?
There is a waiting period of three (3) working days. Compensation is payable beginning on the next day and continues as long as you are unable to work. After fourteen (14) calendar days of lost time, you are entitled to receive payment for all working days and calendar days not paid during the waiting period. Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission rules require that payment be made within fourteen(14) days of an employer’s knowledge of your inability to work.
