[QUOTE="comp, post: 97466"] That's what I tell these guys that get hurt and they say "nah don't need that UPS will take care of me"and for the most part they do but there is always one who gets burned. Well it does seem unfair to them but I look at it this way,it's like buying a used car you get all the old problems that come with it if you don't get it checked out first.If they hired him knowing this then sorry but that's too bad. Maybe UPS should have thier Doc's due a little more then a quick DOT physical before hiring people and maybe weed some people with previous problems out. It's like some guys that come back after major back surgery you really shouldn't be doing this type of work after that kind of surgery your just asking for more problems safe work methads or not,but they still let them come back. Pay them off it's got to be cheaper in the long run. It goes back to the old saying "they will step over a dollar to pick up a nickel" Only thing I can say people is when your hurt at work take care of number 1, YOU.You are the only one who truely knows what feels right and if you are being taken for a ride.Like said above if it doesn't seem right contact a lawyer and let them handle it. In all my years at Brown I've only seen a couple of people givin a hard time over comp,yes when you first tell them your hurt everyone get's crap that's in the manager text book or something(LOL)but most of the time when they see you aren't going to back down they will work with you and help.
