Do I need to use leave to attend physical therapy related to a workers' compensation injury?

You must make the effort to schedule appointments outside of work hours in order to minimize disruption in the workplace. However, if that isn’t possible based on the clinic’s schedule, you will not be required to use your own time to attend.  If you work for a portion of your shift, you will need to notify the Workers’ Compensation Specialist of the number of hours you will miss from work in order to receive compensation for the entire shift.
