Saturday night, I clocked out, and on my way to my car, I tripped over a chain that my employer has posted up all over the parking lot. these chains are all one parking space long, posts in between. people are pretty rowdy, and have hit a few of them with their vehicles. lets just say this hourly worker parking lot is ill maintained. the chains all sag to a different level than the next. anyway, I tripped over one of these chains, making my knee swell up terribly, and my wrist hurt pretty bad. I shrugged it off, went home and took a nap. four hours later, I decided I was going to see the doctor, to make sure i didn't fracture my kneecap. I then reported the injury.
My supervisor told me to come in the next day to fill out some paper work, before heading to the doctor. I filled out the paper work and went to the doctors. had a bruised, swollen knee, and a strangely sprained wrist. my supervisor told me he was going to clock me in for the whole day so I didn't lose wages. I get a call Monday morning, from the safety manager, saying that I should've been able to work all day Sunday, regardless of injury, but they drug tested me, so I was on lock until the results came through. he also stated i should've reported the injury immediately, which we have a 24 hour policy. I get in to work today, and I was told that a different supervisor took away my hours. he saidIi don't get compensated.
I was injured on their property, within 30 seconds of clocking out. should I be getting paid for my time spent at the hospital, and time filling out paper work, which would be almost 8 hours, disbursed within two days? or should I just get my full 12 hours of pay? also, is it even legal to be drug tested for an injury after I clocked out?
