I am wondering why Dave would not receive workers compensation for the first three days of his absence. The Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission provides information when this regulation takes place (work absence for less than 14 days), but it does not state the reasoning behind it (Maryland Workers' Compensation Law, n.d.). Do you have any thoughts on this?

Background/Facts:During a meeting with Winnie, Ralph, the Clean-N-Shine ("Clean") owners, and you, the owners asked several questions about their potential liability for on-the-job accidents resulting in injuries to employees.They particularly need an explanation about Maryland's workers' compensation law.

Winnie and Ralph asked you to respond to the following question.

Dave, a Clean employee, accidentally fell off a ladder during a Clean training exercise and injured himself.Dave was taken to the hospital ER, treated, and released.He missed one week of work because of this injury.
