Which day is listed as the waiting period start for the Friday injury scenario?

• A. Friday
• B. Monday
• C. Saturday
• D. Sunday

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the waiting period for temporary disability benefits starts on the day the employee becomes disabled due to the work injury. If the injury happens on Friday and the employee cannot work that day, the waiting period begins Friday. Those first three days—Friday, Saturday, and Sunday—make up the waiting period, and if the disability continues, benefits would typically begin after that waiting period (often on Monday). So Friday is the correct start day because the waiting period starts with the injury day when disability begins.
