There are 2 answers here - if you have filed a workers comp claim and are waiting for it to be approved YOU can elect to use any sick leave/ vacation leave you have - BUT your employer can't just take it without your permission
IF your claim has been approved- you should be receiving benefits from comp monthly IF your not Ans your claim has been approved you need to find out why!! Your sick leave has nothing to do with comp benefits. However if you elect to use your sick leave then your employer must reinstate the amount you used or pay you for it. Like I stated earlier - you should be getting a check from workers comp ----
