There is a seven day waiting period before cash benefits become payable. However, if the disability extends past fourteen days, benefits are payable from day one. If an injured worker is totally disabled as a result of a work-related injury, he or she is entitled to two-thirds of his or her average weekly salary for the year preceding the accident date. There is a cap, or maximum benefit payable, depending upon the accident date. If the injured worker is determined to have a partial disability, varying rates may apply.
