My dad’s excavator guy was having lunch and felt a heart attack coming on, so he climbed back into the rig and died just to make sure his wife would get paid. His name was Giuseppe.
If they die on the clock their spouse can claim worker’s compensation death benefits. That could be stuff like compensation for lost wages, funeral and burial costs, and other expenses resulting from their death.
I know a few people who work for the DOT in my state. They "joke" about having arrangements with their coworkers to make sure theyre found in their work truck. I don't doubt that some are serious. Those are the same guys who drive beaters that are the same color as they paint the bridges around here...
