Worker’s Compensation runs concurrently with the provisions of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Maine law has a seven day waiting period for lost time claims. For the first five work-days out of work, time away will be charged to earned time and the other two work-days will be charged to long term illness. Examples: if there were ten days of lost time, worker’s compensation will pay for three of the ten days; if there were 14 days of lost time worker’s compensation will pay retro back to the date of injury. Employees will need to make arrangements with HR to repay the College for the earned time and/or long term illness previously compensated for.
