Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

My husband works as a server and also sets up weddings for the same restaurant. He thought he pulled a muscle while at work but it turned out to be a hernia and the doctor wants him to stay home for 2 weeks. Is his company (who has a wc program) required to pay him for lost wages as well as his medical bills under CA law?

If a physician finds the hernia is work related, then your husband should file a claim and request Total Temporary Disability for the time he is unable to work.
