[QUOTE="rocket88, post: 168091, member: 1609"] Here in Ohio,Central States, if the company offers you TAW you must accept it. UNLESS and this is very important!!!!! UNLESS your doctor's written orders prohibit the work. UPS tried to push me onto TAW when I was injured on the job. They called my doctor. My doctor called me and informed me that UPS had contacted him and we (the union and my attorney) put a stop to that immediately. The doctor then said fine he(meaning me--the injured employee) can do TAW. Here are his restrictions. After my center mgr. read them he called me and said forget it. Stay home. Not long after that I had to have reconstructive surgery. When you are on TAW and you are a fulltime senority driver you do in fact get your regular fulltime driver rate of pay. you get 8 hrs.per day unless you agree to punch off and go home. Then you only get paid hours worked. As an aside.... I am always amazed at what I read on various threads concerning injuries. Never go to a UPS athorized " Med Center" or UrgentCare Center. Never!! Go to the local hospital. Then IMMEDIATELY contact your own doctor. He can refer you to a competent Orthopedic physician. It is your right. It is also your duty to do right by yourself and get the best possible INDEPENDENT medical treatment available. It is you RIGHT under the law. [/QUOTE]
