injury leave

Hurt worker's time

Injury leave is paid time off granted to an employee who has been hurt on the job.

It allows workers to recover without losing income while their injury heals.

The term appears most often in contexts involving government employees, union contracts, or workers' compensation policies: He's been on injury leave since the accident at the warehouse.
