Q: If I am off work due to my injury, do I get paid?

A: Yes

You will receive pay for your time off from work if you are unable to work due to your injuries or if the doctor assigns medical restrictions due to your injury and your employer is unable to accommodate the restrictions. If you are off work because of a work-related injury, you
are eligible to receive temporary total disability (TTD) benefits to replace your lost wages. You are eligible if you have missed more than three regularly scheduled workdays. If you miss more than two weeks, these first three days, referred to as the waiting period, are paid to you.
Important Tip: Once your doctor gives you medical restrictions, you must give those medical restrictions to your employer or supervisor immediately. Your employer will then decide whether they can provide you with “light” duty or an accommodating position. If your employer
cannot provide an accommodated-work position or “light” duty, then you will get paid by work comp.
