in north carolina once a clincher agreement has been approved, hoe long does the insurnce company have to cut you a check?

The insurance carrier has 24 days from approval to issue a checkor be subject to a 10% penalty. Section 97 – 18(e)of the North Carolina Worker's Compensation act states that "compensation shall become due 10 days from the date following the expiration of the time for appeal from the award judgment or the day after waiving the right to appeal by all parties has been received by the commission, whichever is sooner.   The case of Carol v. Living Centers Southeast, Incorporated 115 N.C.App. 116 (2003)this directly on point with this very issue.
