Not a workers comp attorney but wondering: if an employee is injured on the job and goes to urgent care during work hours and then is back to work the next day, is the time at urgent care count as hours worked? Can employer pay using employees sick time?

In some states, there is a waiting period to qualify for workers' comp indemnity benefits. In Virginia, for example, you need to be out of work for 7 days. Then, if you're eventually out of work for 21+ days, the 7 day waiting period becomes payable.

So if the injured worker is only out of work for a few days (or a part of a day), they might not get workers' comp because of a waiting period. Using PTO could be an alternative.

Also, employers sometimes pay salary/wages in lieu of workers' comp benefits so they can avoid a claim. Self insured employers especially do it a lot.

A client developer group just told me they reached terms to “buy equity in a lease.” From what they’ve told me, if we were setting this up fresh, I’d do a new LLC and easily handle capital contributions, buy-sell, etc. in the new LLC agreement. However, here the partner had a long-term lease on the underlying RE that our group wants to develop as a concept. Lease assignment to new LLC is dicey, but I’m thinking maybe we set up a Mgmt services company to contract w/ the partner-tenant entity?
