Re: comp nightmare
You should have a claim filed with the IAB (Industrial Accident Board) for your worker's comp claim. If the insurance company canceled your comp, go to the IAB, if the company did so, complaint to HR and then go to the IAB. As to your position, after you're out more than 12 weeks, the company no longer needs to hold your job open.
