An employer in Vermont is required by law to promptly report a work injury that results in either medical attention or one lost day of work or more.  Filing a First Report of Injury form does not make the employer liable for that injury.

What is the waiting period for lost wages in Vermont:

No payment is due for the first 3 days of disability. This is the waiting period. The 3 day waiting period includes the date of injury if the employee was not paid in full for this day.

Compensation is only payable for the first 3 days of disability (the waiting period) if the lost time lasts 7 consecutive calendar days or more. This is the retroactive period.  If exceeded, benefits are owed and payable for the entire period of disability. 

The above periods apply only to total disability benefits.
