Well, I sprained my right foot Friday night and went to the doctor sat morning. Anyway I normally work Sunday-Thursday, so today is my first day missed and I have a follow up appointment Tuesday. I was suppose to go on vacation on Monday. So I am wondering if the payed workmans comp kick right in or is it delayed a week like short term disability is? I am wondering if I am going to get payed for Sunday? and if Monday and Tuesday is Vacation or Workmans Comp Days? Payed or Not? Really have no clue and it seems I have to stay around to go to followup appointments and cant leave for vacation yet. If anyone could shed some light on the issues it would help. I work in a job with a lot of walking and lifting 30+ lbs all day 10-14 hours a day so there is really no light duty jobs. I will be fine in a few days but I cant do my job at this point.

Worker's compensation insurance provides benefits if you're hurt on the job. Doesn't sound like you were at work when you were hurt so your pay and benefits would be up to whatever benefit programs you're enrolled in. If you get such a thing as "sick days" that's probably what the time missed would be paid from. -
OK Sorry
I was working on a normal day off so it was a little confusing.Comment

"All workmens compensation laws require insurers to pay a portion of lost wages due to a work-related disability. Regardless of disability classification, carriers are generally required to pay no less than 66 2/3 of a claimant's lost wages up to a set dollar maximum for the duration of their disability or a set number of weeks. Only Arizona (55 percent) and Massachusets (60 percent) workmen's compensation laws have wage percentages below 66 2/3 percent. Colorado, Florida, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, and Washington do not set percentages."
I'd recommend doing a google search for "workmans compensation" & yourstate.Comment
