Workman's comp inquiry

that's right...they cannot fire you for filing a claim, but they sure as hell CAN fire you when you return. they have thier own good reason too, "you are damaged goods and cannot perform your job duties like before you got hurt".

seen it my self with my relative...after like nearly 30 years of employment, only the usual vacation and holidays off, they canned her when she went back to work.

 

I meant, protection AFTER treatment. my bad.

 

Please stop spreading misinformation. Have you ever had a workers comp claim? I did. It has nothing to do with percent of pay unless you make a very small amount. It's topped out per week not based on percent of pay, just based on pay.

 

This information is wrong as well.

Workers comp is no fault. If you are hurt at work, no matter why, they MUST cover your medical expenses.

 

here in my state, it is at 60% of the weekly earnings.

no taxes however.

 

correct, but you're not free from legal repercussions, AFTER the fact

 

right, a good w/c lawyer can get you all the money you deserve, however, he cannot help you if you get fired when you go back.

this goes to what i advocated for decades...

"company has no loyalty to the worker"

"i had no loyalty to the company"

we are all numbers, even the companies...nothing but a number

 

Please stop posting misinformation.

Just because your state pays Don't mean they all pay.

 

You're right. I posted wrong info.

My brother collected 30% + aflac.
