light duty work refusal

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

The company picks and chooses when there is light duty. I'm simply saying level the playing field.

No light duty for off the clock injuries

No light duty for off the clock injuries

I had a health issue (not an injury) that prevented me from performing my regular duties for a few days. I told my supervisor I probably wouldn't make it in for one or two days, and he was happy to offer to send me to small sort if the doctor would clear it.

I guess "injury" is the keyword here...

They don't want to be on the hook for comp, if you injure yourself worse.


Plus you sound like a good worker and some supervisors remember that.

My former brother in law used to work at Pepsi. He played football in high school and was asked to play for our local semi-pro team. Pepsi told him that he would be on his own if he were to get hurt while playing.

Thanks for yet another boring personal anecdote, Dude.

I had to go through a return to work physical after being released from my doctor from an off the job injury.

You will not be allowed to work with a injury that occurred outside of work until you are 100% cleared to return. In the mean time, file for STD and also apply for unemployment. The doctor will give you restrictions but UPS will not work within your restrictions so they are therefore denying you work so you would be eligible for unemployment. I've had to so this twice in the last year for extended periods of time, so I have plenty of experience

The ability to collect both may vary from state to state.

What's BS about the light duty situation is that they'll have the drivers work on the pre-load which sometimes they'll bump someone from their preferred scanning position or set them up across from another who's scanning and have them scan forever bags all morning, which clearly cuts into our time.

Now you see where PTers rank on the food chain.

Right above outside hires.
