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.

Though the owner is paying the subcontractors individually, if you are overseeing their actions you are likely liable for any actions they undertake.

- Workman's Compensation Insurance is specifically for work related injuries. State laws control the way WCI is regulated, meaning the requirements that are needed to collect a claim, the amount of the claim and so forth. Not all employer's are required to participate in WCI therefore not all employee's would have access to the program.

Can you sue an employer for disclose medical info?
You can try suing anyone for anything. The correct question is "will a judge immediately reject and dismiss the suit".
You have no chance with a suit based on the employer disclosing your med info to an insurance company, to your spouse, to the Worker Comp agency, to the company's doctor, to your supervisor, or in response to a subpoena.
If the employer discloses med info to the public or to your coworkers, your suit will survive IF yo can show actual damages. No clear dollar damages, no verdict.
