Legal Question in Workers Comp in Illinois

My understanding is that unless it is a company policy or part of a union collective bargaining agreement, MD visits for any purpose are NOT paid time off unless you have vacation, sick or other days available you may be able to apply them for that purpose. You should still feel free to call the Industrial Commission, and talk to a work comp attorney anyhow.
