[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1741294, member: 13921"] The OP appears to know his/her comp law. In same states (like mine) the laws are written to protect the workers well enough that an attorney is pretty much a waste of money for many cases. The OP has not made seniority yet. Once he/she is released for duty, he/she will have to restart the 30 days. I would bet that if balance and moving fast are a struggle, you will not reach seniority. My guess is that the OP is not being offered TAW to avoid making seniority. If the OP reaches maximum medical recovery and can still not do the job, WC might mandate job retraining and placement assistance (paid for by UPS, but may not be employed by UPS when all is said and done.) In my state, long term comp cases get an advocate provided by the state. That person makes sure the employee is doing everything to get better and the company is doing what the law tells them to do. If Oregon has such a person, contact them and see what they have to say. I would imagine that the comp pay for a pre seniority driver is not very much. [/QUOTE]
