d.
If the physician, authorized by the employer to treat the injure or ill employee, is of the opinion that the employee was actually capable of working a full normal shift of a regularly established job, but because of transportation problems associated with his injury, the employee arrives late at his place of work or leaves the workplace before the established quitting time, such lost time may be excused and not counted as disability time. However, the excused time shall not materially reduce his working time, and that it is clearly evident that his failure to work the full shift hours was the result of a valid transportation problem and not a deviation from the “regularly established job”.
e.
If the injured or ill employee receives medical treatment for his injury, the determination of the nature of his injury and his ability to work shall rest with the physician authorized by the employer to treat the injured or ill employee. If the employee rejects medical attention offered by the employer, the determination may be made by the employer based upon the best information available to him if the employer fails to provide medical attention, the employee’s determination shall be controlling. Measurement of Performance: Exposure to Industrial Injuries:
Exposure to work injuries shall be measured by the total number of hours of employment of all employers in each establishment or reporting unit. The exposure of a central administrative office or central sales office of a multi-establisment-concem shall not be included in the experience of any one establishment, nor prorated among the establishments, but shall be included in the over-all experience of the multiestablishment. 1056.02:
Determination of Employee-Hours of Exposure:
Employee-hours of exposure for calculating work injury rates are intended to be actual hours worked. When actual hours are not available, estimated hours may be used. Employee-hours shall be calculated as follows: (1)
Actual Exposure Hours - Employee hours of exposure shall be, if possible, taken from the payroll or time clock records and shall include only the actual straight time hours worked and actual overtime hours worked.
(2)
Estimated Exposure Hours - When actual employee - hours of exposure are not available estimated hours may be used. Such estimated hours should be obtained by multiplying the total employee days worked for the period by the average number of hours worked per day. If the hours worked per day vary among departments, a separate estimate should be made for each department, and these estimates added to obtain the total hours. Estimates for overtime hours shall be included.
If the employee-hours are estimated, indicate the basis on which estimates are made. (3)
Hours not Worked - Employee - hours paid for but not worked, either actual or estimated, such as time taken for vacation, sickness, barangay duty, court duty, holidays, funerals, etc., shall not be included in the total hours worked. The final figure shall represent as nearly as possible hours actually worked.
(4)
Employee Living in Company-Property - In calculating hours of exposure for employees living in company property, only those hours during which employees were actually on duty shall be counted.
