I know a man, age 47, who worked for the NYC Sanitation Dept picking up cans for 17 years, until he was injured last October 2003. He slipped and fell and ripped a tendon in his arm while picking up a can.
He has had an operation and still doesn't have full use of his arm, from the looks of things.
NYC is self-insured so they pay full pay for as long as he is off the job for his injury. It looks like a regular paycheck with base pay. Or at least that's the way it used to be unless they changed it?????
Would they have retired him in a year or does the City typically wait longer to put an injured worker on a disability pension?
Is working at another full time (office) job illegal and fraud in this case or does NYC make exceptions for some people because of finances of the injured worker?
Thank you for reading
