If you give an employeee time and pay him for his/her
time, he is considered to be "on the clock."  If (s)he
becomes injured during the period of time (s)he is
considered to be on the clock, it could be considered
a liability.

I'm not talking about vacation time or other coded
time that one would be given as a normal course of
work tenure; I'm talking about "Go ahead and take
today off because you've been so wonderful for so
long."  If you take that day off and don't code it,
then become injured, it could be a liability for your
institution.
