Okay, so this guy shows up for his first day of work and within 30 minutes falls off a ladder and wrenches his knee. Nothing serious and he refuses our offer to take him to the hospital. However, to make a long story short, for the past 2 weeks or so he has come up with one reason or another (most are injury-related) to not show up for work. He's gone to the doctor and the report says "can return to work IF no prolonged standing or walking", yet the guy always has some reason for not coming in. We're pretty sure he's going to try to nickel and dime us to death with workers comp, if he's not outright faking the whole thing as a pro or something, and I'm just wondering if any of you could/would share stories you have of workers comp abusers?
