What is the name of your state? Georgia
When I was hired to work as a punch-out person for a large construction development company, I was offered $150 bonus for each house once it closed. This was above and beyond my salary. I have been receiving only $50 to $100 and sometimes nothing upon a house closing. About 3 months ago I was injured on the job and was told that if I did not continue to work while injured, my job would be seriously jeopardized and I was not to report the injury for workman's comp. I continued to work with my injury. Recently, I was injured again (received a hernia). I advised my supervisor that I needed to seek medical attention due to pain. I was threatened that if I sought medical attention, my job would be in serious jeopardy. Due to the amount of pain, I did seek medical attention but returned to work and advised my supervisor that I was instructed not to do any heavy lifting and that I would need surgery. Three days later I was threatened again, both verbally and physically, and was discharged. What are my rights? Do I file for workman's comp.? What actions can I take against my "former" employer? Please help!
