Continuation of Pay (COP)

  • If an employee suffers a work related traumatic injury, they are entitled to continuation of regular pay for the period not to exceed 45 calendar days.
  • COP is paid by the employing agency, not OWCP.   However, the determination on entitlement to COP rests with OWCP.
  • If disability exceeds the 45 days of COP, the employee must claim wage loss compensation from OWCP.
