Greeting to everyone.
I stumbled onto this site by accident trying to ascertain some information to help my husband. If anyone can give me a direction in which to go I would be most appreciative.
In a Nutshell...
My husband worked for UPS (Northbrook, IL facility) for a little over 18 months. He slipped and hurt his back and ended up with a protruding disk in his lower back.
He was placed on light duty for 4 weeks after seeing our doctor. However, the pain persisted and he was placed on light duty an additional 2 weeks. To make a long story short, he finally quit in the beginning of June because he could not handle the bending and lifting in pain anymore.
Since that time we have been unable to collect his last paycheck. We have never had to deal with Workman's Comp issues before and are ignorant to the process. In addition they wanted him to sign "some paper" that said he was at fault for the injury.
1) Does anyone know how we would go about getting the HR's phone number for the Northbrook facility or how might we go about getting his last paycheck since we have been getting the run around. NO immediate Sup or Manager will return our phone calls?
We have been told by his Sup the Manager has it, but when we try to contact the Manager, no one returns our phone calls.
2) How might we pursue his injury for Workman's comp?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
