Yes it is a workmans comp if he was scheduled to come in or he had an appointment. Massachusetts Yes it is a workmans comp if he was scheduled to come in or he had an appointment. Massachusetts Answer #2 You better check with workman's comp. I know of a case where a fellow employee fell in the bathroom at work and was denied payments because it was not considered "work related". In this particular case, the company turned it in as workman's comp but it was refused.
no, not legally so make sure you do every thing by the book in your new dept. and keep records (dates and times)of any thing you find suspicious regarding your employers behavior towards you. he/she might be setting you up for a fall to fire you in a legal manner. and remember the dept of labor is there for this reason You can not be fired for being on workmans comp but you can be fired for not doing your job tasks according to company guidelines within your light duty limits. For instance if you continually come in late to work or are absent you can be fired as this has nothing to do with the workmans comp.
