[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2622159, member: 8481"] Have you ever seen it denied? I haven't. Most states follow a simple rule for applying workers’ comp benefits that says “while in the course of employment, not necessarily just "being on the clock." [I][B][COLOR=#000000]Henry v. Precision Apparatus, [/COLOR]Missouri Court of Appeals, No. 29772, 2/16/10[/B][/I] This state accepts the idea that if an employee is injured “off the clock” while performing tasks in the workplace that benefit the employer, that worker is be eligible for workers’ comp benefits. Installing your radio in your tractor off the clock benefits the employer making you ready to work at your start time, without the need to spend the next 10 minutes on the clock installing it, making you 10 minutes behind already. And UPS has instructed you to install it off the clock. They may deny it at first, but having to go in front of a judge is unrealistic. The administrative hearing, the first appeal, usually heard within 2 weeks, will set UPS straight. [/QUOTE]
