"A Labor Department regulation requiring that an employee be incapacitated for three consecutive days to have a serious health condition under the Family and Medical Leave Act is valid, and it is properly understood as requiring three full days of incapacity, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit recently ruled (Russell v. North Broward Hospital) U.S. Ct. of App., 11th Cir., 10/2/03) "
You think that a sprained ankle fits " a serious health condition"?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Serious enough to be out of work for a week and in a walking boot...

They're going to say no to TAW. Here they only allow TAW if it's an on the job injury because it's comp. Since they're paying you anyway, why not get something out of you. Also they like to keep a closer eye on comp employees to try to get you back to work as soon as possible. Since your case would be disability they really don't care. I was on disability a few years ago and wasn't ready to go back to work and my Dr basically said it's completely up to you when you want to return. Came right out and told me since your on Disability and not comp they don't pressure me to get you back to work.

Here comp is $995 a week, disability is 60% of pay but there's a max limit of six hundred something a week.

TAW doesn't apply for non-work related injuries.
It doesn't hurt to ask.
Or, join the safety committee.
That is an option.
Nope.
It would be the equivalent, of asking for an ADA accommodation.

True story. A kid I went to school with was a basketball star. His dad used to do all the videotaping for the team and one night had his foot slip through the bleachers and mess up his ankle pretty badly. He sucked it up 2-3 days and limped into his forklift job at a huge factory.
Apparently, he was borderline diabetic and that along with his injury caused gangrene to set in and he wound up getting his leg amputated just below the knee.
The good news was he made a lot of extra $$ because he was on workers compensation. The bad news is he lost a chunk of his leg by being a greedy

Call in one day as a sick day or option 3 day, counts as a report and health insurance stays intact.

He is coded out as disability. You can't use a sick day if you are out on disability.

The OP should check with his local unemployment office to see if he would qualify to collect unemployment benefits while he is out of work due to the injury.

Health insurance remains intact on disability. If disability is denied for whatever reason you're shifted to FLMA but you have to pay the insurance fee. The way it works here is, if you're on disability insurance remains intact thru union dues that you repay when you return to work. However many months you miss. If disability is denied then you are automatically enrolled in FLMA and UPS will send you a bill for your insurance fee due.
When I was on disability a few years ago you are automatically enrolled in FLMA but it's not active. Let's say your disability ran out or for some reason it was terminated but for whatever reason you were not ready to return to work that's when you're moved to FLMA. So I got an insurance bill from UPS HR for $0.00 but I called just to make sure I didn't owe anything. She said that bill is if your disability was denied or terminated you would have to pay a bill for your insurance.

Uh.......no.
When you go out on disability you request a withdrawal card so that you are not on the hook for union dues.
Dues are not used to pay disability premiums.
You do not have to pay "back dues" when you return to work.
There is no "automatic" FMLA enrollment nor do you have to pay the insurance fee.
