Payment in the first week

We do not pay for your first week off work , you’ll need to talk to your employer

If you’re an employee or shareholder-employee and your injury happened at work, your employer must pay you 80% of your usual pay, for the first week.

If you were injured outside of work, talk to your employer about using sick or annual leave.
