So, how to not handle the job search? If you've been injured on the job you're released to light duty and the employer cannot accommodate your light duty work. So, now you have to look for a job or perform a diligent job search. And so, one of the things we hear all the time is, "Yep!" "I looked for work." "I couldn't find anything." So, well that's fine. And then the next thing we know, opposing councils pulling them into a hearing. Trying to cut their benefits off. They're like, "When you approach that employer, how did you approach them to work." And the injured worker said, "Well, I told him I was hurt." "Did they have a job so that I can work?" "I'm on workers comp." And they said, "No". "That's not a diligent job search." "That's not a good faith effort." "You gotta make a good faith effort." So, you've got to find out about the job. You got to find out if it's something you can do and then apply for that type of work. But don't tell the employer that soon to be employer, "I'm hurt." "Do you have a job for me?" That won't work. Stay safe!
