LOST TIME
A “Lost time” claim is one where the WC carrier made a payment to the employee for either wage loss or permanent disability.
WAITING PERIOD
Wisconsin WC statute has a 3 day waiting period before an employee will be paid wage loss benefits by the carrier and the date of injury is not included. This waiting period only applies within 7 calendar days from the first time the employee missed work due to the injury. If the disability occurs beyond 7 days the waiting period is waived.
