Re: hurt at work, job making me clock out

If you are covered by workers' compensation insurance, then it should pay you 70% of your lost wages when that happens. They owe this beginning the eighth day you lose time from work. You can see additional information about the workers' compensation system at www.dallasworkcomp.com
