Check with your HR department; it may depend upon whether you're covered by the federal or the state worker's compensation program.

Under State Workers' Comp in Virginia, you do not get it until you are out for 7 days. However, you may have sick leave or vacation time you may take.Also, if you are getting less wages due to Dr. appt.etc., these days count toward your 7.
