Ok, I'll try to make this as brief as possible.
Shoulder surgery, Rating came back at 10%, FCE permanent restriction of 5 lbs on right arm.
In NV apparently the IC sends the FCE results to the employer, the employer then has 30 days to make a "legitimate" permanent job offer in writing that states they will accommodate the perm restrictions, the job and rate of pay... or they can just say we can not accommodate and the IW goes into voc rehab.
Today, HR called me in and told me that they had to have my permission to evaluate me and told me I had to fill out an ADA accommodation request form. I told him I would not sign anything until I spoke with my attorney, WOW was he mad. I called my attorney and his paralegal said not to sign it until she speaks with the attorney. She said it sounds like they are wanting me to sign it and ask for specific accommodations so they can move me (at MY request) and get out of paying the wage diff.
Has anyone had to fill out ADA paperwork in order to RTW? I don't even know if my injury qualifies under the ADA guidelines. I have not heard back from my attorney and of course I have the patience of a two year old LOL. Just wondered if anyone has dealt with something like this before.
Thanks
