They have deducted 6 hrs from my accrued sick leave time and penalized my overtime because the er doctor put me off work for the reaminder of the day. I thought an on the job injury was covered by my employer.

Dear Sirs:

You have a workmen's compensation case which will pay 2/3rds of your salary during the time you missed from work as well as other benefits.

Please call us to discuss.

Many thanks,
