Re: workmans comp
The workers' compensation carrier would be more than happy to have you return to work, with any employer, so they can cut off your checks. THE RISK: If your return to work does not work out due to symptoms associated with your work injury, you may have a tough time getting the checks re-started again.
I'd get a copy of the NC Industrial Commission's Bulletin and read for more information. Become familiar with IC's Forms 18, 28T and 28U as well. Coordinate any return to work through your doctor to make sure they are in the loop. They may need to take you back out again if you find you are unable to continue.
Go to our site for more information, and links to the the NC Industrial Commission: ncworkcomp.com.
