Have Questions About
Workers’ Compensation?
Can my employer tell me to use my sick time or vacation/personal time off (PTO) if I get injured at work?

Work-related injuries are typically covered by Workers’ Compensation, which is designed to cover lost wages and medical expenses related to workplace injuries.
However, in some cases, while your workers’ compensation claim is being processed, your employer may allow you to use your PTO as a temporary option to avoid going unpaid. Still, this should be voluntary, not mandatory.
