[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 551836"] It's not realistic for them to pay for it but to accommodate for it is a little different. I look at a company like West Jet and what they did for my cousin when he hurt his back. Granted, this was while he was at work but he wasn't told he HAD to do light duties (something UPS is great at trying to guilt you into or force upon you). He was told to stay home, take it easy and they would take care of the rest. They did too, he was hooked up with disability pay, still given the treatment as a regular employee and was taken care of by West Jet. If a 'newer' company like west jet can do this much for an employee, why not a company that's been around for 100 years? It's no wonder you never hear of UPS being in the top 100 employers of the year. Even if they can't accommodate with light duties, would it be so hard for them to at least help you claim unemployment. I was told in the beginning if I filled out the form I would be given light duties. Then told to fill out another and another until 5 weeks later I still hadn't gotten a paycheck from anywhere. I thought this is what HR was for? There are ways to assist that wouldn't cause the company much problems...Although then I suppose it would look bad on the company because they wouldn't accommodate for depression. [/QUOTE]
