What is the minimum wage loss a worker must experience to qualify for any workers' compensation wage loss benefits?

One day
One week
Two weeks
All injuries

The correct answer is: One week

To qualify for workers' compensation wage loss benefits in Michigan, a worker must experience a minimum wage loss of seven consecutive days. This is why the correct answer is one week. The design of this requirement is to ensure that the benefits are reserved for those injuries that impact a worker's ability to earn wages significantly, allowing for a clearer assessment of the injury's impact on their income. This provision encourages prompt reporting of injuries but also provides a buffer period during which minor injuries or short duration absences do not result in wage loss benefits. As such, the specific criterion of having a wage loss for a minimum of one week serves to balance the interests of employers and employees while maintaining the integrity of the workers' compensation system.
