When does Continuation of Pay (COP) begin after an injury?

  1. The same day of the injury

  2. The day after the injury

  3. One week after the injury

  4. After the employee returns to work

The correct answer is: The day after the injury

Continuation of Pay (COP) is a crucial benefit designed to provide financial support to employees who suffer work-related injuries. When an employee sustains a job-related injury, the entitlement to COP begins the day after the injury occurs. This is important because it allows for immediate access to benefits without the employee needing to go through a waiting period or using their own leave days for recovery right after the injury. This process is put in place to ensure that injured employees are supported while they focus on their recovery and treatment. The other choices suggest beginning COP either on the same day, after a week, or after the employee returns to work, which does not align with the guidelines established for COP provisions. It is specifically designed to start the day after the injury to provide a seamless transition from daily work activities to recovery.
