§ 82-560. Recording of time

(a) When an employee loses time on the date of injury due to seeking medical attention, supervisors should code the employee's time as regular time. Any subsequent lost time would be coded as WC70 or WC100 time.

(b) If employees must attend on-going medical treatment before reaching maximum medical improvement (MMI) for a compensable injury after return to work, the supervisor may document the incremental time for each week and report the aggregate on a supplemental report to the risk management office. Medical appointments should be scheduled for those hours when the employee is not scheduled to work, if possible.

(c) After reaching maximum medical improvement (MMI), time away from work to attend medical treatment shall be charged as sick, vacation, compensatory or leave without pay.

Example: Jack reaches MMI. He must visit his doctor periodically. He schedules a visit that requires him to leave work two hours early. The time is coded as sick, vacation, compensatory or LWOP.
