I was injured on a jobsite and have been off work for 5 1/2 days. Will I get recieve any payment for lost wages or will I need to use my vacation time so I don't have a short check? Also, can I put the time down spent at the doctors office on my time sheet? I am from Iowa.

Iowa's waiting period is 3 days. No payment is due for the first 3 days of disability unless the disability lasts longer than 14 days, then the first 3 days will be paid retroactively.

I don't know how Iowa handles 1/2 days. Usually doctors appts are not put on time sheets. Maybe someone here is from Iowa and can give you more info on that.

treatment time is leave time handled by employer, not disability that's handled by insurance.
