[QUOTE="Asskicker, post: 1134710, member: 45097"] Hey Southern comfort....that's why you have to get a lawyer if you are injured bad enough that you might be off a while. You can go home and take the weekend off and they ABSOLUTELY have to file a workman's comp report on you. Just a quick FYI. I know someone who slipped on ice in the parking lot and UPS refused to file WC because she wasn't on the clock. One call to a lawyer and he called UPS and WC was filed. It was a really bad injury that required surgery. Anyway the company cannot refuse your right to file WC on ANY injury. The insurance company might deny the claim if they investigate it and decide it's not a comp injury, but that is later and it is the insurance companies call, not UPS. My BA told me anytime a person gets hurt on the job and misses one day because of the injury it has to be reported to OSHA. That's why they send you home and try to avoid you filing the claim. If we all pushed for them to do things right, they would be watched a hell of a lot closer then they are. [/QUOTE]
