[QUOTE="PrimeUPS, post: 1654727, member: 56792"] Let's clear up some bad advice. 1. UPS does not decide whether you go on disability or TAW or go to work, the Doctor does based in their diagnosis. UPS is not in the healthcare business. I don't care what anybody says or tells you, management does not decide your treatment. While it may look like decisions are made, they are dictated by workman compensation laws of the state you are in. No more, no less. 2. When you visit said doc, you must get a workman compensation form - states have standard forms for this and take it to your manager and safety supervisor. As has been said, you may have screwed up by going to your own doctor. UPS policy is very clear about reporting injuries. You must report them IMMEDIATELY to management. That typically allows the safety sup to give you a signed form that authorizes you to receive treatment at the designated facility on UPS' behalf. I've heard it is possible to see your own doctor and reverse process that, but I have not personally seen it be successful. 3. If you are offered TAW, that will come from the manager - not a sup at any level. You will need to accept or decline it. If you accept it, your job officially changes to that and you are required to comply with whatever was written which may include shortened hours, different start times, and/or duties to which you are completely unfamiliar. 4. Talk to your manager, now, like 5 minutes ago! [/QUOTE]
