Re: waiting around
The employer plays many games in order to reduce, or eliminate an injured worker's claim. This is exactly why injured workers retain counsel.
It is very difficult to prosecute a workers' compensation claim on your own. With that said, you should be entitled to two thirds of your rate of pay. Your pay check stub should be your evidence as to your true rate of pay. This should be submitted to your employer.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 818.385.052o. I will be glad to give you a free consultation.
