[QUOTE="abbear, post: 110403, member: 61"] I would suggest you get out your phone book and look up your state dept of worker's comp and give them a call. It varies from state to state. TAW = Temporary Alternate Work (light duty). Paid different? I don't think so. There have been cases here in Calif where UPS got into trouble for not giving a worker on TAW the same average hours he had while on full duty. Be warned - most of that light duty can consist of watching safety videos and answering phones - but it still is at your full rate. If they are not letting you work the full amount of hours I would call 1. your BA and 2. State Workers Comp board. Having been thru this for some time (and being permanently disabled by UPS) I am telling you that you ned to get in touch with your state worker's comp board and talk to them about the rules for you state. You are your own best defense. Learn as much as you can so you can protect yourself! DO NOT TRUST UPS OR LIBERTY MUTUAL TO GIVE YOU ACCURATE INFORMATION!!! Good Luck [/QUOTE]
