Oh, BS.... lots of you today!

This may be long, and this may be a little over the top bitchy as well. You've been warned.

So, Zach's representative (her name is Ashley) at his workers comp company gave him serious crap over not being approved for light duty in mid January. She made various rude comments about how she found it hard to believe that broken fingers would keep some one out of work for three months blah blah etc. etc. She threatened him that if he wasn't back on light duty by February, she would suspend his benefits and put him under investigation. So at his most recent doctor appointment, Zach made sure his doctor checked the light duty box on his little paper, even though the doctor didn't think he should go back. It took some convincing, and Zach explained what the workers comp rep was saying and finally got his checkmark.

Tuesday was Zach's first four hour shift back. The pay period runs through Wednesday. So that makes 4 hours of pay. This is supposed to be subtracted from his workers comp paychecks that run Mon-Friday (for example this week should run 2/7-2/11) and get mailed out Tuesdays for the week we are already in. So by 2/11 or 2/12 he gets the paycheck for this week. Except nobody returned his calls all week and now he isn't getting a paycheck at all from workers comp for this week, until maybe the end of next week when she figures things out. I can't even tell you what this paycheck in front of me from his actual work looks like.

Super frustrated... and need big prayers for the fed. return that supposedly hits our bank account tomorrow. I've been let down by that before...last year in fact. Please let that not be the case since we won't have a paycheck for who knows how long??

Oh, and all of this is for two days of work that she practically forced him into...since he now has his next surgery on Tuesday. What was the point of going back for those days? They had to look around for things for him to do considering he does warehouse work and they had him in the office. His work didn't want him (not that they don't love him!), but workers comp insisted.

AHHHHHHH!
