Is my company taking me for a ride?

I can only say that I think that you should at least consult with a lawyer. Since it is usually free of charge, prepare your questions ahead of time...to best usilize your 30-60 mins. If nothing else, you can find out if there is anything that you need to be doing. For me, I did not realize that in VA, even though the co. files with the state, the injured employee has to file a report as well. How was I to know that? It wasn't until I consulted with a lawyer that she brought that to my attn.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi hoosier...i agree about having or at least consulting an attorney. I could have never taken this WC ride without mine. When I was injured my claim was denied. I was paid for the first 6 months of my injury by using all of my sick days. I had alot of them, didn't care because I needed my paycheck. The Judge decided in my behalf 14 months after I was injured. I have never had a sick day re-established. I think this might be up to the individual employer. Mine also put me on FMLA without my knowledge. Some think that'sillegal but obviously isn't.
