NEW INJURED WORKER POLICIES: Due to the recent number of injury claims we will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of injury. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to RETURN to work. SURGERY: Operations are now banned. As long as you are an injured worker. You were hired by your employer intact, Your employer has the right to expect you to remain intact. You should not consider having anything removed, repaired or replaced. To have something removed, repaired or replaced, constitutes a breach of employment and will not be tolerated. All workers comp doctors have been advised to discontinue these practices for this reason. MISSING WC DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS: Bereavement on the loss of a loved one is no excuse for missing an appointment. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-injured workers attend to the arrangements. In rare cases, where injured worker involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled for late afternoon if your appointment is scheduled for morning, or funeral should be scheduled for early morning if your appointment is for afternoon.

However, we require at least two weeks notice as it is our duty to have adequate time to halt all benefits (IN THE UNFORESEEN EVENT THAT YOU ARE RECEIVING ANY)!
