Ayesha Genova: You're going to need to talk to a lawyer. I highly suggest you check out this site. If you have more questions let me know.www.getprotectedhere.com
Sylvie Snetting: do you work for Value City? If you have documents to back you up and your doctor backs you up that is probably the only way to get a settlement. Most companies don't want to pay for disability .I don't think they would hired you back . It is because the lawyer and court stuff. My lawyers told me I was best not sue or do nothing because most places won;t hire sue happy people. I'm not sure how things work in CA. It is best to start to Look for another job. Best of Luck and don't worry it will work out for better.!...Show more
Nadia Crauswell: Did you try reapplying? Thats a good place to start, as was contacting an attorney. Have you expressed your desire (job back, benefits, and backpay) to your lawyer? The reason I ask is because if all that has been mentioned between both par! ties is a dollar figure...maybe the company would agree to rehire w/benefits & backpay instead of a settlement. What you WANT might be cheaper for the company then what the company is expecting to pay out in a settlement. Yes, you do have a prayer...might not see results as soon as you would like but its not completely out of the question. Good luck...Show more
Karl Jantzen: You should give your lawyer a kick in the ***. He/She should be representing you in the best possible way. Also bear in mind that your employer also has to show enough evidence that they have tried to accomodate you before firing you - if this is not done, then you have a case...either way good luck and you really should get your job back.
Whitley Leopold: I'm not sure your lawyer is looking out for your best interest. I would take what you've said to a few more attorneys and get their opinoin.Workers Comp is a tricky thing. The company has to "make you whole" after an incident that is a r! esult of an injury sustained in the course of your employment.! But, if it's a hardship for your employer to hold open your position, they can terminate you. It stinks from your prospective, but if you look at the other side, they need to get on with business.You're lucky that your employer has a re-hire policy. I was in a MESSY situation where I wasn't terminated, but "internally transferred' to a position I wasn't qualified for (so they could say it didn't work out and then fire me). There was a position I *was* qualified for, but it was a "demotion" and policy didn't permit self-demotion. However, if your old job is still available, and you are capable of working in it without restriction, a good attorney could get you back in. Back pay would be a sticking point, though. What's more important? You can always peeve your employer to get back pay and a job, but a month later "it didn't work out" and you're hitting the bricks again. The flip side is getting your job back, starting fresh, and hopefully keeping it for a good long! time. You have to choose....Show more
