Light duty, you get full pay, S-TD you get like 80%. So, I sit in a common area at work and play video games on my laptop or watch movies or whatever. I asked my manager today if I could stay home, dont need to get paid, but at least not have it count towards my 120 seeing as I'm not essential personnel anymore, what with all thats going on. He said you can stay home and not get paid but it still counts towards your 120 days.
Not thrilled at all
