Work comp TAW question

[Brownguy88]

I have a question about work comp and TAW. I was wondering if anyone knew if you already lost time due to a work injury if you could go back to work on TAW. Had an emergency surgery and was unable to work after immediately after. Thanks in advance.

Contractually, yes. In reality, no.

The whole purpose of TAW is for UPS to avoid a lost time claim.

I don’t think they HAVE to give you TAW, but it’s in the contract that you can request work hardening for 1 (or 2?) weeks before returning to duty. Which, I’m guessing would basically be TAW

Once you go out on "lost time" the center already pays the price. 5k I believe. So there is no incentive to let you come back because it's the same amount whether you're out 1 day or 3 years.


Just focus on getting better and getting back into working shape.

Good luck brother..

5 days (one week) but have to be out for at least 6 months and when possible give advance notice... Which mean definitely give advance notice.
