[QUOTE="LifeUPSer, post: 773226, member: 13530"] I am not sure of the rules for your location but where I am you have to have a note filed with the company to be able to see your own doctor. If you don't have that note then you will have to see the company doctor first then after 30 days you are able to see your own with the company paying for it. As far as them not filing on the first date you have two options; the first being you can just have them file for the current time and everything will get paid from that point forward(if you went to doctor before then I suggest the next one). THe second being you can force the issue and have them report the injury from the day you told someone. Be prepared for a million questions from different people as the management will get in trouble for not reporting it timely. If you do choose to take the route of my second opinion then be prepared to have a target on your back. The management is going to be busting your ass day in and day out because of forcing that issue. Make sure that you follow all of the methods and safety procedures in your operation or you will get written up I am sure. ou can also tell them that you want to see a doctor right away and they can't deny that. Make sure that you have someone else(union member) with you so that they hear the conversation and back you up. If you have the shop steward there it might be a good thing as long as they are not on the side of the company. As far as taking the time off and not getting paid, do you have any sick days? Not that it is the right thing to do but ask them to put you in for sick days for the next couple of days so that you are assured of getting paid. You also have your floating holidays that you can use if you still have them. As far as them cutting your hours if they put you on TAW, there may be language or an agreement that won't allow them to do that. I know out here they have to give you the same hours that you were working prior unless there is no other work available for that day. If there is a small sort job in your operation you can ask to do that as there isn't as much walking as unloading and loading. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
