My partner recently started working at a factory and after a week and a half he got injured on a forklift ans crushed his foot. Shockingly it's not broken or sprained but he needs to stay off it for a week because it's 3 times the size and overall bruised and swollen. However, work says he won't get paid anything for the week he is off because they don't pay anything unless you're off for 8 days minimum. Is this normal? Does it not usually start the day of?
