Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

No. It should be on paid time. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.

YES. There is no rule you get paid for being away from work for industrial injury treatment.

So, if you wanted a regular paycheck with the health insurance and retirement contributions all made in full, you did want to use the accrued sick and vacation time.

SOLUTION: GO TO THE CLINIC before or after regular hours, and if that clinic won't set you for before or after regular hours, swtich clinics.

FURTHER: IF YOU ARE OUT more than 3 days, then the Comp Insurer does owe you for Temporary Total Disability payments for those days away from work.

But, Sadly, the Temporary Disaiblity payments don't cover a one-time visit to a clinic where you missed hours from work and just continued in regular duties with no further time lost. Sucks, but that's the law.

SORRY TO DELIVER THE BAD NEWS.
