Looking at the Labour code we have been unable to find the clause that covers the following question. My wife has a teacher that hurt her ankle on the weekend, so not work related. She is in a cast and the doctor says no work for 25 days. What are the legal requirements as far as paying this employee, time limits. At present my wife has had to hire a replacement and continue to pay the injured person. Fair enough, cost of doing business, but what if the doctors say 3 months....etc.
