Taking time off for an injury suffered at work
If you do not have sick leave accrued and take time off from work because of an injury, you should immediately see a doctor in order to create a record of your injury and your doctor’s recommendations. If you later decide to file for worker’s compensation, you may be ineligible to collect for lost wages unless a doctor advised the time off and an official record exists.
