Wage-Loss File Setup Checklist

Create separate folders for pre-crash earnings, post-crash payroll, work restrictions, and insurer correspondence.
Download original payroll files and preserve unedited copies.
Start a dated log of missed shifts, shortened days, and appointment-related absences.
Label paid leave separately from unpaid time.
Ask payroll who can verify your schedule and earnings in writing.
Save a copy of each submission with its delivery or upload confirmation.
Mark unresolved discrepancies for discussion with an attorney rather than guessing.
