I am thinking I am still an employee until they fire me or I say I quit...when the modified job was offered I explained why I was not going to accept that modified job but would be glad to accept something else that fit with my restrictions and with the ca laws..HR has not replied to my request on what my status is as an employee

yes they did,BBBB I understood that I also understand many IW feel that they can turn down any job they feel is beneath them or not in their normal duties or hours....Unhappy will not tell us why he turned down the job but the employer and IC felt they were in the right enough to stop the TTD....now we both know it dont take much for that to happen......but that dont pay the rent or buy the groceries....I suggest Unhappy get a lawyer quick.....

I have a feeling they know what their doing, and studied the Laws and Rules of their State, as they really only ask what is next in the process of doing things.

I don't think we need to know their reason, but too only answer the question they ask, as was said in another Thread somewhere. By of course some other person. I don't see why we need to know why they turned it doewn.

[jayne]

then why ask.....if they know what they are doing they have no need to worry or be scared of anything......jobs are hard to come by if they offered modified work within restrictions and he/she turned it down.....well we all know what will happen

Then why ask what? For the question by this person is (((Does anybody know who makes the decision to end the payments?))) Meaning they knew there was a chance that TTD checks might stop, they knew this way back in the start. I haven't read anywhere here that they are scared. It wasn't ever said the Modify work was within medical restrictions here. This person did say though, they informed the employer, and the HR Dept. To why they would not accept the offer of a Modify Job. Meaning it must not be within medical Restrictions assigned to them.

All they are asking, is to whom makes the decisions to stop TTD payments.

There not asking what happens if they turn the work of Modify duties down.

It's only my Opinion, as a answer to their question is, the Employer's Work Comp Insurance Made the Decision, and then sends a report in to the Work Comp Commissioner to why it is taking place. This person knows what they need to file when that happens.

I guess we will see ......it does us no good to draw conclusions between us when he doesnt give us enough to go on.....you feel one way I feel another......he was offered a job he didnt take it....TTD was stopped......now I would have at least tried the job and if it didnt follow Drs orders then I would refuse to do that part.....but feeding my family is as important as is not reinjuring my self.....you and I both know a court date can be months if not a year or more away.....not many can go that long with no income

That's just it, I'm not drawing any conclusions. I am though just going by the words the poster ( Unhappy ) put on the Internet for us to all read. Nothing more nothing less.

It might be just as good to re-read what ( Unhappy ) only has written here. from the very start as to what they said, such as their very first post on this thread.

They haven't claimed to be worried about Income, or a Job at this time. It could be they have enough Funds. But, that hasn't been a question here, nor did they ask what they could, should do for that issue, meaning it is a non-issue at current time, till they the poster brings up such issue. It seems they only wish answers to certain questions and nothing more do they wish.

I just have a couple of questions...claim is CA.

I am on WC dr gave me restrictions but my employer couldnt accomodate those restrictions.

An offer of modified work was given but I turned it down for a couple of reasons.

I got a call saying that I would no longer recieve a check because I was offered modified work and didnt take it.

I did decline per a labor code in CA.

So can I file a appeal, and what is my status as far as my job and do I still get medical care.

I am so upset and frustrated at this point..any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

I dont have an atty.
Thanks

Well I didnt mean to cause such a conflict...I had a feeling the checks would stop from talking to 7 different I & A people. I understand that some people dont understand why I wouldnt do the job, as jobs are very very hard to find. I have been laid off March 2007 from a job I worked for 6 years, I then got another job and got laid off again in March 2008 so I know all about not having a job...but then again I am not a young person, I have decided to stand up for what I believe the Ca law tells me...I went into work to about 3 weeks ago to do "modified work" went in was my same job..I ended up going back into the dr. So it really doesnt matter what the issue is on why I refused the modified work as I feel it is justified..I filed all the paperwork with the RTW office and can only hope that the powers that be agree with me.
My questions are:
I have not heard a reply from my employer on what my job status is, so not sure what to do.
I honestly feel that has an injuried employee you have very few rights, and you have to go through hoops to stand up for yourself...I dont think an atty would take my case..no money in it for them.
Money is a issue & will have to figure out what I can do about that any suggestions would be great.
Thanks all
