[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 155821, member: 5529"] Hopefully you reported an injury such as that when it happened,if not do it now. UPS will send you to their doctor but make your own appointment to see an orthopedic specialist. That is important as his decisions will override a general practioner whose decisions can be deadlocked by UPS` doctor. Your bills,under workmans comp on the job injury,will be paid at 100%. If either doctor places you on restricted duty,and their is no alternate work that meets the doctors guidelines,the you will go on work comp and be paid at 66.6% of your normal pay after 2 weeks off. The pay will be retroactive to cover the first 2 weeks. UPS may require you to come in and sit for your sceduled day as temporary alternate work (TAW). However if you are placed on medication the may make it unsafe for you to commute,or if commuting irritates your condition,then see your ortho doc and have him write a letter stating that travel should be avoided and you can stay home. Documate everything! Don`t be intimidated into working off your injury! See a ORTHOPEDIC doctor! Sign,or say nothing admiting fault. [/QUOTE]
