Change provisions relating to the date when compensation begins under the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Act

This bill amends Nebraska's Workers' Compensation Act to change when wage replacement payments begin for work-related injuries. It maintains a three-day waiting period for short-term disabilities but shifts the start date for longer disabilities: if injury lasts two weeks or more, payments begin from the injury date (not the fourth day). The change directly affects Nebraska workers injured on the job whose disability extends beyond two weeks. The bill corrects a confusing phrasing in the current law about "third seven calendar days" and "fourth eighth calendar day" to clarify the waiting period. (Note: Bill text contains apparent typographical errors in the original section being amended.)
