y. I refused to sign it. they then called me and left a message about the write up then took the write up away IN GOOD FAITH. I asked for a copy of the write up they were going to issue me and a statement saying this inccident happend this they would not provide this seems like a sort of retaliation that they desided not to use. Whats your opinions and I think there still doing things to be difficult as well as the company doctor not working with me about pain management , I personnaly would not take a sick animal to this doctors office as they seem very much bought and payed for to assist the company not look out for my general care!

Just a word to the wise, next time you are given a write-up, do not sign it, but write on the actual paper saying you refuse to sign it and why and have them make a copy...they can not refuse to give you a copy, it is against the law. You waited until after the fact, they don't have to give you anything. Don't show your cards, employers are shady. I filed suit against the company because I was fired less that a month after coming back from maternity leave. You have to keep all documentation, without it, you have no defense. They are going to scrutinize your work until they find an avenue to write you up again I am sure. They have every right to use whoever they please as a company doctor, it is your responsibility to harass (call relentlessly) the doctor until he gets you what you need. If you still can not, there are lawyers that specialize in dealing with company lawyers. Be savvy the next time, because I am sure there will be a next time, most administrative persons do not like a challenge even if it is when they are in the wrong. If it comes to the point you have documentation and a lawyer can see that you have a case, even if you don't have money they can take it on contigency.

If one-hand duty was the restriction caused by your arm being in a sling,your company should not have written you up.They didn't issue a copy of the write-up or a statement saying this incident happened because they were concerned that you might try to retaliate by taking them to court.

Yep, that's what they do! Jerks! If that doctor has you on one handed duty though, they HAVE to find you something to do for the normal hours weekly you work. Or else you get paid anyways for whatever is your normal hours. I know this as I went through it last year. But, it is up to you to make sure they do. If they give you something you can't do one handed you have to tell them. If they retaliate, you can get them. Heck, go to your own personal doctor to get the note. Doesn't matter who it comes from as long as it's a doctor. I had restrictions but I had to keep reminding them. And then half the time it didn't do any good. So, I just worked as slow as I could. I refused to push myself to further injure myself for life. I hurt myself at work, but didn't make a report thinking it was no biggie! My worst mistake! It was their fault and all they did was push me out the door in the end. Anyways, call the workers comp number and the unemployment office and they can tell you more of your rights. That's where I found them out at. Good luck to you.

Write your own note to them confirming the facts. Send an email saying:
This email is to confirm the following:
DATE I gave so & so a restricted duty note from the doctor.
DATE So & so informed me that you were writing me up due to my arm being in a sling.
DATE I received a phone call from so and so stating the write up was witdrawn due to "good faith"
DATE I asked for documentation from so & so regarding this matter to ensure it would not go into my permanent file and HR (or specific person) refused.
Sincerely,
your name
Let them know you are keep track of the events, dates, and names and they tend to screw with you less. Don't add any emotional baloney. Just dates, times, names, and facts of what happened.

CHRIS,
AS MUCH AS YOU HATE IT, YOU NEED A DOCTOR'S NOTE THAT STATES YOU ARE LIMITED TO THE USE OF ONE HAND,AND THAT NOTE MUST BE PRESENTED TO YOUR EMPLOYER.
