§ 616C.232. Denial of compensation for temporary total disability because of discharge for misconduct
1. If an injured employee is discharged from his or her employment as a result of
misconduct, an insurer may deny compensation for temporary total disability to the
injured employee because of that discharge for misconduct only if the insurer proves
by a preponderance of the evidence that: (a) The injured employee was discharged from his or her employment solely for the
employee’s misconduct and not for any reason relating to the employee’s claim for
compensation; and (b) It is the injured employee's discharge from his or her employment for misconduct,
and not the injury, that is the sole cause for the injured employee's inability to
return to work with the preinjury employer. 2. An insurer waives its rights under subsection 1 if the insurer does not make a
determination to deny or suspend compensation to the injured employee within 70 days
after the date on which the insurer learns that the injured employee has been discharged
for misconduct. 3. An insurer may not deny any compensation pursuant to this section except for compensation
for temporary total disability pursuant to subsection 1. 4. Discharge from employment for reasons other than gross misconduct does not limit
an injured employee's entitlement to receive benefits for temporary total disability.
