Can someone please inform me of what should happen in the event of an on the job injury? Specifically, steps and procedures once the injury is reported to management, and ball park timelines. Thanks

No Ron, I don't think he was talking about Management.

Well,in that case. Apologize for injuring yourself!", promise it won't happen again, and then pretend it didn't happen.

Rehab takes time. Can't rush these things, especially when on comp. Comp here is 80 percent-tax free!

Had an unmarried driver at my old center who had an insurance policy that paid him like 400 bucks a week if off work and his Dad (who felt sorry for him gave him another 200 bucks a week) so this guy was off on comp every year for a few months. He retired a couple years ago after his 30 years on SS Disability -- imagine that.

That's better.
In your other thread, you just told us what you let UPS get away with. There is no shame in asking for help/advice, even for a Ranger.
This is how it works, or should work for a UPS employee. You being TL and non-union, you may be an independent contractor, not covered under UPS Workers Comp. If you are actually a UPS employee, read on.
The moment you get injured, you need to inform your Sup. From there, it depends.
If you think it is serious enough to see a doctor now, you tell UPS that you need transported to a Medical Facility immediately. If it is something minor, like a pulled muscle, and it really doesn't bother you too much right now, report it anyway in case it gets worse and you need to see a doctor later.
UPS has Workers Comp Insurance, which means that if you need to see a doctor, the bills will be paid by UPS, with you owing nothing at the time of the visit, or later.
If it is serious enough to keep you off work while you rehab or recover, UPS will pay you Workers Comp Insurance Benefits, usually 80% of your pay, tax free for the time you are off.
Depending on where you are, you may not start receiving your payments until after 7 days, and need to be off for more than 10 days for the payments to revert back to the first 7 days.
It will take them longer to process the paperwork to get your first check, so don't count on it in a timely manner. Also, expect UPS to deny your claim, saying you did not do it at work, making you possibly have to get a lawyer just to get your benefits.
And if they refuse to come and get you and take you to a Medical Facility, call an ambulance.
