If no reasonable temporary assignment is available, the employee may be required to remain off work until released by the treating physician to return to full unrestricted duties. E. Computation of Benefits 1. No Workers' Compensation benefits for lost time will be paid for the first seven calendar days unless the work-related illness or injury results in time lost from work of more than 14 calendar days. For claims in which the disability is more than seven days but less than 14 calendar days, compensation will be paid for each day over seven days. For claims in which the disability lasts longer than 14 calendar days, Workers' Compensation benefits will be paid from the first day of disability.
Compensation benefits are subject to the maximum allowable under the Workers' Compensation Law.
