If Fired From Job After Good Thc Drug-Test Result Subsequent Damage On Job, Does That Disqualify For Amp & Restroom; Ui Advantages

Postby Choilleich » Thu Jan 02, 2014 12:58 pm

Does the positive drug-test outcome mean the company doesn't require definitely to pay workers compensation medical advantages? Feel about acquiring either temperature disability or unemployment rewards, also? The damage is so that actual function using 1-arm isn't feasible for possibly numerous weeks and surgery might be required. Their state is NJ. Can there be any requirement that health-related advantages for surgery and physical therapy is probably to be compensated or is this the organizations strategy of acquiring away from spending anything? I noticed that unemployement disqualification many just be temperature for 6 months and then get. But imagine if you've a genuine challenge from the damage that prevents you from seeking work in the short-term? This is not a scenario to be drunk at function. Merely testing great for a lot of pot smoking that happened a couple weeks earlier. ANy want for this person in this situation?

If Fired From Job After Positive Thc Drug Test Result Following Injury On Job, Does That Disqualify For Wc & Ui Benefits

almost certainly not I bear in mind somebody that would get hurt at operate each now and then but would by no means report something because it would mean an immediate drug test. The drug test is the employers final way to relinquish any duty of any workplace accident, and if you take place to come up constructive soon after an accident the employer is not accountable...hence no workmans comp. Based on the employers policy, which is practically everybody, you will drop your job if you come up constructive. Now I dont want to say that I agree with them for this notion due to the reality that you may not have accomplished anything for weeks and nevertheless come up constructive, but you should recognize where they are coming from as well. They have stock holders to please, and when you do something stupid and hurt your self that is lost earnings and increased healthcare premiums across the board. How are they to know that you didnt smoke just before you went to work and the fault was most definately due to you not paying focus and obtaining hurt? They shouldnt have to discipher regardless of whether or not you smoked three weeks ago or three hours ago...the truth is that you did and its a liability to the business.

I remember somebody that would get hurt at work every now and then but would never report anything because it would mean an immediate drug test. The drug test is the employers last way to relinquish any responsibility of any workplace accident, and if you happen to come up positive after an accident the employer is not responsible...hence no workmans comp. Depending on the employers policy, which is almost everybody, you will lose your job if you come up positive. Now I dont want to say that I agree with them for this concept due to the fact that you may not have done anything for weeks and still come up positive, but you must understand where they are coming from too. They have stock holders to please, and when you do something stupid and hurt yourself that is lost profits and increased medical premiums across the board. How are they to know that you didnt smoke before you went to work and the fault was most definately due to you not paying attention and getting hurt? They shouldnt have to discipher whether or not you smoked 3 weeks ago or 3 hours ago...the fact is that you did and its a liability to the company.

SciFiMan said: 1 I'm not qualified to answer, but if you have a work injury that documents you have certain drugs in your system, you shouldn't have to worry. The initial drug screening, if positive, can be followed up with a more comprehensive test(s). However, most places have a zero tolerance policy, and smoking a joint for the pain isn't a good reason. They can possibly deny benefits. There should be fine print, unless NJ is an "at will" employment state, they can get rid of you for most anything they want. Check the state website for their dept. of labor and laws/rules. 64 months ago

In Virginia you would lose your WC benefits for intentional wrongdoing. WC insurance carriers know all the tricks to avoid paying.

I really don't know - like sci fi said, you need to check state labor laws. I found it funny that you said " is this the employers way of getting out of having to pay anything?" YOU are the one that came up dirty!
