(1) Disability insurance payments are not earnable compensation, whether the payments come directly from the employer or from an insurance company.
(2) Workers' compensation payments are not earnable compensation.
Example: | Susan, an employee on unpaid disability leave, submits her workers' compensation payments to her employer. The employer then issues Susan a check for the same amount through the payroll system. Even though the payment may have the appearance of compensation from the employer, it is not a payment for services provided and it is not earnable compensation. |
