Mr. Thomas E. Long
Dear Mr. Long:
This is in response to your request for an interpretation regarding the payment of Workers' Compensation benefits. Specifically, you ask if the county should adjust the salary of an employee who is receiving benefits from Workers' Compensation for a seven day work week when the employee worked a five day work week prior to filing the Workers' Compensation claim.
The answer to your question is yes. The employee should not receive
benefits for weekends if those days were not part of the regularly scheduled work
week or a holiday. Please refer to the enclosed interpretation from our office dated
April 12, 1990, for further guidance on the payment of Workers' Compensation
benefits.
Hoping that I have been of service, I am Sincerely, /s/
Henry Marockie
