how do i get paid for missing one week of work due to a work related injury?


Question:
I got hurt on the job and missed a week of work because the company had to find a dept. for me to work light duty. Who do I call for help? Help!

Answers:
Talk to Human Resources. They might also have a hot-line for you to call for those types of questions.

Other Answers:
it's called worker's comp. talk to your hr. if all else fails, hire an attorney. they're likely to settle out of court bc the company doesn't want bad publicity such as treating their employees unfairly.

best wishes.
You should file for Worker's Comp. Also, check to see if you have any kind of disability insurance. Your Human Resources Department will help with this.

A company is generally not required to pay your wages only your medical expenses incurred.
Contact your states Bureau of Workers Compensation and they should be able to help you out.
If you miss more than seven days of work on the Eight day workmans comp wil pick up and pay for the last seven. BUT only if you are off more than a week
