[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 738998, member: 18044"] I'm aware of the language you cite, but I'm not sure BleedinBrown was, or most employees are. Besides, BleedinBrown was home, not at work. Upstate was recomending BleedinBrown call his supervisor so the supervisor could accompany him as he sought medical attention. This seems like the supervisor would be acting like an invited friend (as well as a supervisor.) Bad advice to others, even if Upstate is okay with it in his own personal situation. Most Contract violations by UPS can be set right later with a grievance payment. And so the workrule is to first "allow" UPS to violate the Contract, then seek redress afterward. Unfortunately, in some matters, you can't "un-ring the bell." If a supervisor tries to oversee your examination in the hospital room, or argue with the doctor about return to work dates or restrictions, or learn the medical details of the matter, you must put your foot down (the good foot) as there is no way to undo this type of violation once it occurs. Supervisors have been known to illegally pry into medical matters in emergency rooms, when employees call-in sick, and when FMLA leave is requested. It is illegal for management to attempt to learn medical details. This is an important protection, especially in other cases where the details are of a more sensitive nature than a sprained ankle.
