What is the waiting period for lost wages in Georgia:

No payment is due for the first 7 days of disability unless the disability lasts longer than 21 days, then the first 7 days will be paid retroactively.

Benefits for temporary total disability are payable from the eighth day of disability. The seven day waiting period is computed as follows: The date of disability is the first day the employee is unable to work a full day. If, however, the employee is paid in full for the date of injury, the date of disability begins the next day following the date of injury. The day or days considered lost because of disability to work are counted from the first seven days of disability even though the days may not be scheduled workdays. For example, if an employee, who is normally not at work on Saturday and Sunday, is injured on Thursday and is unable to work Friday, the following Saturday and Sunday must be counted as two days of the waiting period. Entitlement to benefits for the first seven days of disability, or any part thereof, requires 21 consecutive days of disability. The employer/insurer shall pay compensation for the first seven days of disability on the 21st consecutive day of disability.
