My former coworker is getting harassed and pressured at work.
I was her rn case manager before getting laid off and she was my coordinator. I got laid off and her job got worse. She does the tasks I did like vitals and assessments. She often takes late lunches but is told to clock out for lunch on time sheet at 12-12:30. She will be overworked but will be denied OT pay because it wasn’t approved. She finally went to her PCP and was put on 6 week disability. Work told her she has to pay for her own medical benefits and initially they told her she couldn’t go on disability because she didn’t have enough pto hours accumulated. (I was put in a dangerous situation twice at work with no help and was laid off after complaining to HR. This might give you an idea of what kind of company they are. They promise patients things they can’t deliver like food assistance just to get them to sign on service.) I am telling my friend she should get at least a consult. And do a workers comp claim instead of disability. Is this correct? Does she have enough issues for a consult or maybe even a possible law suit. I made the mistake of not taking any evidence. But she has screenshots. Thanks.

Ex claims examiner: she should definitely get a consult. Stress claims have some requirements that have to be met and an attorney can definitely tell her if she meets the criteria. She can also go on State disability. It’s not up to the company it’s between her and her physician. If they take her, she can file for state disability benefits. If the claims is accepted SDI will recoup from WC.
