A. IDL
1. For periods of disability commencing on or after July 1, 1992, eligible employees shall receive IDL payments equivalent to full net pay for the first 22 work days after the date of the reported injury.
2. In the event that the disability exceeds 22 work days, the employee will receive 66 and 2/3 percent of gross pay from the 23rd work day of disability until the end of the 52nd week of disability. No IDL or payments shall be allowed after two years from the first day (i.e., date) of disability.
3.
