Hi pom queen, Thanks for your info, very helpful. We are in QLD. I asked for my hubby, he was minor injured at work ( six stitches on his wrist and since been out of work for two weeks) today his boss phoned him only see if he would be back to work again. Not mention a word about the pay for these two weeks. His employer is a sub contractor. I presume he is self-insured. Will my hubby be covered by his boss's insurance company or workcover is the only way to go? Thanks
