Q: If u tell ur job u can't do a job and its physically hurting you. But they make u do it till I get a doctor excuse
I've been at my job for 5 months with no problems they put me on a new job after a couple days my back started hurting I told my supervisor I couldn't do it and it was messing up my back and they said unfortunately you have to keep doing it until you get a doctor's excuse and now my back is really messed up it hurts Non-Stop I haven't seen a doctor yet but I'm going to is that legal for them to make you do a job you tell him you can't do I never asked to be put off my old job
A: In Wisconsin,once you report a work injury as you have done as you describe above, any smart employer would report it immediately to their worker's compensation insurance carrier and take you off that job and refer you to be seen by a doctor of their, or your, selection without further delay. Ask your employer if they have reported your workplace occupational exposure back injury to their worker's compensation insurer, get the claim number, adjuster's name and contact information, and then get in to see an MD that specializes in occupational exposure back injuries right away without further delay. Good luck!
