Certain CBAs and regular county policy have 90 days of wage continuance. Not all elected officials that are non-union provide this though. It is beneficial in some ways however in some departments is abused due to language interpretations and inability to change the language. We don’t do more than 90 days as that is the time frame for most soft tissue injuries for moderate to heavy work can heal to the point of return to work (when receiving appropriate treatment). Light duty varies by department. Some is another 90 days with stipulations, some are 60 and 30 and some don’t have it.

Richland County is currently paying Wage Continuation for one month. Please let me know if your county pays wage continuation and for how long. Also, how long do you allow light duty? Thanks.
