On WC since April 2017

[MAKAVELI]

There is no need to file for FMLA.

Shouldn't be. But you guys have different rules across the country. I was suggesting to file to give them time to figure it out.

Thank you so much!! You put my mind at ease

WC rules are different in every state. The OP should call the union office and find out how the WC laws in their state affect them. In my state, benefits were paid for the entire time I was on comp, my state's laws may be different from the OPs.

Sounds like someone at Teamcare has you coded incorrectly.

Teamcare has nothing to do with coding.

There's no need to go through that headache he should be covered under comp, unless there's more to the story and they are denying his claim. If you are taken out of work or put on light duty by a Dr. and use all your TAW and they decide to fight your claim it can become a real nightmare.
Ex: To get in front of a workers comp judge here the wait is around 12 months. So you see what I mean?

Tell your husband to call down to the local union and talk to his BA. He can call labor and get it fixed.

What's a BA?

What's a BA?

Business agent. He should be able to straighten out everything. Your husband will need to call he or she, as he is the member. They are the people your husband pays dues to. They help in these kinds of situations.

Did anyone think to ask if he got a temporary withdrawal so he will not owe mega bux in back dues when return to work happens?

???? Temp withdrawal???

He does pay union dues

Doesent he?

I did this when I had my surgery. You "withdraw" from the Union and then "rejoin" when you go back to work. Saved me 2 months of dues.

You can call the Local to see if they would be willing to back date a withdrawal but I doubt that they would.

No. The plates went in the lips and ears. Rings go around the neck
