[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 819710, member: 484"] That is interesting, I happen to get a contractors newsletter that had an article about a company that bid a bridge repair job in NY. They got in a ton of crap because they paid less than the 50 mandated by the state. Will have to find it and post it. That is partially true, UPS and all other employers (including me) pay into the workers comp fund, or in most states buy workers comp insurance. In the case of UPS, that is liberty mutual. Now, because they are so large, they can afford the hit of several large claims of workers comp, where smaller companies would not. So they pay liberty to pay the bills, and then liberty sends them the bill for the total, plus a percentage of the actual costs. So the check you get is from an insurance company who is taking care of your claim. UPS has no dealings with your workers comp claim, except to pay liberty for the costs. So while you get the check with "BENEFIT PAID FOR BY UPS", ups pays them, they pay you. With smaller companies, that might or might not be there on the check. d [/QUOTE]
