Claim process -- Waiting period after injury. In Minnesota, the workers' compensation waiting period starts on the first day of any lost time and is three calendar-days long. Wage-loss benefits for an injured worker are not paid for the waiting period unless the disability continues for 10 calendar-days or longer.

In Minnesota, workers compensation coverage is compulsory, meaning most employers must purchase coverage or become self-insured to protect employees who get hurt at work.
