[QUOTE="hurricanegunner, post: 577534, member: 22122"] I never said he would be fired for getting hurt. I said he could be fired for violating the contract. Working off the clock violates the contract. Sure, it will go to panel. Whenever management allows it to. And don't think they won't drag it out. They love doing that. UPS can certainly deny workers comp. They simply call Liberty Mutual and tell them the claim is denied. They did it to me when I was injured ON the clock. I then had to hire an attorney to deal with that mess. It took 3 months to get all my benefits. The union did not pay for the attorney. I did. Now he might hire an attorney and get his workers comp. But I ask again, is it worth it? And as far as the state laws regarding workers comp go, that requires an attorney. The union will not pay for the attorney. The hourly does. My point is, if he is injured while working off the clock, he's asking for an awful lot of trouble. Trouble that he could avoid by simply not working off the clock. I'm not trying to be a locker room lawyer. I'm just trying to help him avoid a lot of hassle. Don't work off the clock! [/QUOTE]
