Legal Question in Workers Comp in Illinois
use of sick leave for injury on the job
I injured my eye on the job and had to go to the emergency room. I immediately advised my employer of the injury. They have deducted 6 hrs from my accrued sick leave time and penalized my overtime because the er doctor put me off work for the reaminder of the day. I thought an on the job injury was covered by my employer.

Dear Sirs:
You have a workmen's compensation case which will pay 2/3rds of your salary during the time you missed from work as well as other benefits.
Please call us to discuss.
Many thanks,
