Legal Question in Workers Comp in Pennsylvania

Re: Employer requests meeting while on comp.

I disagree with the prior advice posted to you. Your employer has no right to force you to attend a meeting. This is an old trick so that the employer can say it saw you & say there is nothing wrong with you. You should be available by telephone to speak with the employer. However, your real contact should be with the worker's comp insurer, unless the employer is self-insured.

Re: Employer requests meeting while on comp.

I believe that you should cooperate with your employer at this time. Simply "punching in" will not jeopardize your entitlement to workers compensation benefits. If, after meeting with your employer, your benefits do not begin soon, you will probably have to file a Claim Petition, and go through hearings. The problem is that if your employer's insurance company denies your claim, and you have to go through the hearing process, it could be a long time before you receive any benefits. As a result, you should do whatever you can to get your benefits without having to go through litigation.
