There are several benefits available to an injured worker. It is usually necessary to file a claim for these benefits. This is where an attorney can help you. Let me know if you would to discuss.
Re: paid during time off
If you were only off work for two days regarding a Missouri Workers' Compensation injury, the following law applies:
Except as provided in section 287.140, no compensation shall be payable for the first three days or less of disability during which the employer is open for the purpose of
operating its business or enterprise unless the disability shall last longer than fourteen days. If the
disability lasts longer than fourteen days, payment for the first three days shall be made retroactively to the claimant.
