1. ““[t]he only criterion to be applied is whether on a given day the employee’s earning capacity has been impaired by reason of a work-related injury. If so, it is a day to be included in the calculation of the waiting period, and once the impairment has lasted for three consecutive days, the employee is entitled to benefits from the fourth day on, no matter whether the waiting period fortuitously embraces a holiday or any other day on which an employee would not normally be expected to work.” Morgan v. Davol, Inc., R.I., 458 A.2d 1082, 1083 (1983).”
