[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 2607769, member: 42270"] In my experience, anyone coming in to work with any kind of doctor's restriction is not allowed to work and told to go on disability as there is no "light duty" at UPS (except for pregnant employees now post-SCOTUS decision) only TAW for comp injuries. If you're "over reaching" you're not following the company's safe work methods which involve avoiding end-range motions. You need to work at an appropriate pace in order to avoid these types of motions even if it requires additional belt stops, a slower PPH, etc. This is unavoidable with most "pickoff" jobs so do the best you can, even if it slows you down and forces the company to put someone else in your spot. The company always says safety is their number 1 priority (which we know its not.) Hold them to it. [/QUOTE]
