"I've been way ahead of schedule recovery-wise, spent only a few weeks off, came to work in a sling on light duty. As soon as i was rid of said sling i asked to be placed back into weekend rover rotation, and ever since have been doing all that's required in the office. The company seemed to think i was okay since they have scheduled me solo in a large suburban c.o. many times."
I see many things wrong with this statement.
When you say "came to work in a sling on light duty" was that 5 days a week?
You also say "As soon as i was rid of said sling i asked to be placed back into weekend rover rotation"
You asked? Or your Dr. approved you?
Because if you asked for these things, then of course the company seems
"to think i was okay since they have scheduled me solo in a large suburban c.o. many times."
I was out 3 times on a low back injury. By the third time I learned my lesson. I came back on light duty, 4 hours a day, 3 days a week, for 2 weeks. Then 6 hours a day for 4 days a week, for 2 weeks, then 6 hours a day for 5 days, for 1 week, then finally 8 hours a day for 2 weeks, on restricted duty. Before going full on back into the demand load.
The first two times I was out, I was on light duty, but way to quick management force fed me work as if I was on regular duty, as a result, my back got tweaked pretty bad, during the "recovery process".
I am now considered a "permanent partial disability". It in no way has affected my status in my job, or with the company. During my last situation, about 4 years ago, the company (or sedgwick) tried to appeal my status, but my workers comp lawyer held them at bay, and the procedures were handled properly.
You do have a workers compensation lawyer, don't you?
