[QUOTE="bleedinbrown58, post: 1279895, member: 46975"] File an accident report....always file an accident report! Keeping it "private" in no way benefits you, it benefits management. Let's say when you went to the doctor, they said your toe was broken...can't work for 6 weeks until it heals. With no proof (no accident report filed), you'd have a tough time going out on comp and collecting a percentage of your pay. UPS could turn around and say you injured yourself outside of work....good luck proving otherwise. And if you're new and don't have health insurance, you will be responsible for your medical bills. If you are injured at ups, notify your sup, ask for your steward and ask that an accident report be filed...do not leave the building without a comp claim # in your hand. As far as what to do now? Take the light duty until your toe heals. I find it a little surprising you have a broken toe, and yet the doctor didn't give you a weight restriction. [/QUOTE]
