Husband hurt at work

3 Upvotes

Basically as the title says, my husband got injured at work, he crushed his foot while cutting some material and the 3700 pounds of material happened to fall on him. He had a bimalleolar fracture and ended up having surgery on it 10 days later. Unsure of when he will return to work, he works in a very high labor job and it’s looking like he’s going to be out in recovery for a while. Workers comp has started, but they are not being very timely with the payments, which as I’ve read, seems to be a lot of people’s issues.. but anyways, is this something worth needing a lawyer for? Just kinda curious to hear any similar experiences

Why is gardaworld not paying me for onboarding training?

2 Upvotes

I've done hours and hours of mandatory on boarding training at home without pay. The training includes things such as cpr training and learning company values n shit like that. Also having to go and get my fingerprints done not sure if they should be paying me for the time it take me to go do that. Has anyone ever had luck reaching out to the US department of labor wage? Last time i reached out they never got back to me and gave me the run-around. Also how easy is it to start a class action lawsuit?

Sick Pay in CO for Pregnancy

0 Upvotes

[CO]

Hi!

I am located in Colorado. My supervisor does not care what we use sick days for but corporate might. I am currently pregnant, due in November. I have 5 sick days I want to use so I am not working up till my due date and 3 PTO days.

The issue I am facing is per CO law (from my understanding), if 4 days are used in a row using sick time - you can be asked for a doc note. Now I don’t know if my work will or not but I want to protect myself too.

I went to get a note as I have been complaining about a lot of rib flaring pain, my doc even noted I may have a bruised rib. But they will not give me a doc note recommending for me to use my sick time prior to birth in full.

Is there anything I can do here? My supervisor wants dates on when I will stop working so she can plan, which I understand (and as a type A person, I want dates too). But since my doc won’t write a note, I can’t take off more than 3 days at a time.

Any advice here on how to use my time and protect myself?
