Change provisions relating to the date when compensation begins under the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Act

Summary

The bill rewrites Nebraska's workers' compensation rules so that no benefits are paid for the first three calendar days of a disability, but if the injury lasts two weeks or longer, benefits are calculated from the day the disability began. It also treats any partial day of disability as a full calendar day. This would affect injured workers, employers and insurers by altering the timing of benefit payments.
