[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1980233, member: 42270"] First of all, let this serve as a lesson to always file an injury report when you suspect you might have hurt yourself at UPS ASAP. An actual, written report with a copy you keep. This is a tough one, as you essentially "woke up" suffering from an overuse injury. Workman's Comp laws vary by state, but in my state overuse injuries (tendinitis, carpal tunnel, etc.) are rarely paid out unless there's an exact instance (lifting a box, a slip coming down a later, or some work related action) when the injury occurred. That being said, I don't know how workman's comp works in your state. I'm not a lawyer. You need to look into going on short term disability. At least that way, you're getting a paycheck (roughly 60% of your 52-week avg gross.) If you're simply being coded as a layoff, you'll lose your benefits as you require 1 report/week for UPS to make your healthcare contributions to TeamCare. [/QUOTE]
