[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 2209317, member: 42270"] Reporting an on-the-job injury after a vacation would definitely make a manager go out for blood. When I was a rookie, I was in the office with a kid who had a long list of compensation/disability claims (everyone's body is different) and watched a division manager tow the line ("I believe this is fraud and I will fire you if the doctor proves you didn't do this at UPS.") in the closest way possible by threatening to fire him (in a round about way) for reporting an injury several days after it happened. He would've been convinced to go out on disability for a legit comp injury if I hadn't been there. We also had an elderly woman on another sort (absolute sweetheart, one of the nicest women I've ever met at UPS) recently slip/fall at work in the hub right in front of a supervisor. She thought she was OK, then it was hard for her to come in the next day to work. This went on for a few days and then a few weeks, then she found out she had a pretty serious injury (don't have all the details, but she's unable to work) and will have to be out for 4-5+ months. When she tried to report it as a workman's comp injury, the supervisor suddenly "forgot" what happened and she was discouraged into simply taking disability instead. Always, always protect yourself.
