If an employee claims a work related back injury it is almost impossible to prove it didn’t happen. He stays out of the spotlight for two years, come back and within six months claims a second back injury and is out another two years.
I saw it several times in my industrial days. Everyone knew he could work, but couldn’t do anything about it.

Who knows for sure. Two possibilities: first a new brand of (dangerous) floor wax bought for janitors to use throughout the school district and second a substantial increase in “affirmative action” hires.
I list the first possibility primarily as a joke. The second possibility? Not so much.
No deductible, no out-of-pocket for medical on workers compensation claims. Though most school plans seem to have remained at low deductibles and co-pays maybe theirs changed. I’d check to see the percentage of employees with legal representation, those filing claims for injuries on Mondays, injuries with no witnesses, and see if there is there is a pattern of the doctors and lawyers involved.
Scams along with more and more people who can’t make ends meet...
Good place for a private detective to make some bucks.
entitlement union mentality. nuff said.
check when the last contract renegotiation’was and see what they lost or are paying more for. making up for what they feel entitled to.
Yep, beats working. Actually this has been going on for sometime in schools. Looks like in St. Paul they are taking it a step further.
