That is up to your employer. In every state there is a waiting period before you would be able to collect money for lost time from work. Example: The waiting period for NY is 7 days, but in California the waiting period is only 3 days.

Lets say you are a injured worker from California and your Dr said you were able to work, but had to have certain work restrictions. Your employer does not have any alternative work for your because of your restrictions. After three days you would be entitled to lost time wages. However, if your employer was able to accommodate your restrictions, you will have to return to work, or take personal time off.

Lost time does not include any appt that you might have for follow ups or any time of physical therapy/chiro. This is for every state.

So by law, your employer does not have to pay you any time that you have to take off work for an appt.

Should employees be paid for attending mandatory meetings?

Employees SHOULD be paid for mandatory meetings. If an employer calls for a mandatory meeting on an employee's day off, or not during his scheduled shift, it should be considered the same as being called in to work. Said employee has to give up his time as well as transportation costs to attend the meeting for which the employer can reprimand or retaliate, if the employee does not attend (mandatory meetings only). Thus, if an employer calls you in to a "mandatory" meeting, you should be REQUIRED to clock in. This protects the employer as well as compensates the employee for cost of transportation and giving up his free time.
