Re: using paid days
You can, but you shouldn't. You do get paid for those first eight days, after the eight days have passed. This is the same way that a regular paycheck works, so it shouldn't be any problem. If you still decide to use vacation days, whether or not you can get those days back is something that would have to be negotiated later. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to yours in various workers compensation courts throughout New Jersey in the past. I would like to discuss your case with you in more detail. Please contact me at your convenience. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.
