Legal Question in Workers Comp in New Jersey
Paid Days
A friend of mine was injured at work, received medical treatment and was instructed to not work for 2 days. Her employer, however, did not pay for the 2 days off. Are they required to?

Re: Paid Days
The employer's workmans comp insurance is supposed
to pay for the time lost, pain and suffering and
and future medical bills. I hope your friend got
some money for the pain and suffering and was reimbursed
for the time lost. If they have signed the release it
is to late, if not make sure they get some money.
If there was no workmans comp the employer should
pay the lost wages.
