Legal Answers
13 Questions Answered
- Q. when you have surgery for workers comp one year after DOI is your rate of loss wages based on DOI or current wages?
- A: It depends whether you were working in the year following the injury. If you were unable to work after your DOI, then your rate of pay is based on your wages from before you were injured.

That said, unless you are a salaried employee, I believe your employer would have to pay you for full workdays while you are traveling but, again, I will have to defer to those who handle wage and hour issues. I would also suggest that if you want to research this on your own, then be sure to look here: https://www.nh.gov/labor/inspection/wage-hour/index.htm as these compromise NH's ... Read More
