Is anyone able to explain how does workers comp and all that works?
I’m a new ASM at Lidl, and recently got hurt at work, currently unable to work, did everything under workers compensation and they asked me everything send me a few paperwork l keep them updated with my progress or whatever doctor notes l get.
They do pay me but the issue is l don’t get paid the full 40hours and l genuinely can’t survive with the pay they gave me.
When l asked my boss he said that’s how it works but it doesn’t seem right. Anyone can help me figure this out ?
