107.2

Employees within the meaning of Section 2301(1)(B) and (C) of the Act are not eligible for COP or deductions under § 128 of this chapter, unless the employee is also an employee within the meaning of Section 2301(1)(A) of the Act.

107.3

The term "day(s)" for the purpose of Section 2318(b) of the Act means calendar day(s).

An employee is only eligible for COP for the period during which he or she is placed out of work by a qualified health professional as a result of a work injury. For purposes of COP, a work injury is a traumatic injury that is sustained by an employee at work and is not the result of the injured employee's intentionally wrongful act.
