They are different. If you have a job and take a day for sickness, you are on sick leave, which your employer pays. Your accrue sick leave at your job. If you cannot work for a long time because of injury you get workers comp, which the state pays. Workers comp must be proven.

Do I need to use vacation or sick leave when I go to my workers comp doctor or therapy?
You don't have to use your sick leave, but it's advised that you do so because you'll get paid for your time. However, if you run out of sick leave, then you can use vacation time.
If an employee has to take off from work to see a doctor related to a workman's comp claim does this employee get paid for the time off or do they have to use the sick or vacation time first?
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 ----
Do you receive a separate check once youy file for workers comp?
I worked for the state. I did not get workers comp until all my sick leave was used up. It came from a separate outfit. I did not get 2 checks. Once I could walk and drive a car, the doctor sent me back to work.
Can workman's comp use my personal sick leave time if i was injured in an accident in the company's van but it was not may fault?
Yes of course you can also claim for personal injury and loss of earnings..My brother has a claim agency if you would like more information i can give you his number.. I don't know the answer to your question, yet consider: It's often in your best interest to use your personal sick leave time instead of Work Comp benefits, because Comp doesn't pay 100% of lost wages, whereas your sick leave probably does. If you don't want to use your sick leave, though, contact the Workers Comp case worker or the ombudsman to answer this question for you.
