Too funny on this posting... I haven't been on the site in a while. I - myself - am a clutzy gazelle ..... I have also fallen with high heels occasionally. I have never thought it to be a company problem. I understand my limits!
The thought of someone blaming this on a company is crazy! But, that's HR!
>Crazy? Ha! She just returned from her workers >comp surgery. Six weeks of recoup and now a >brace in glorious shiny black leather.
Great thread, it's so nice to chuckle on MOnday morning! Recent ee did same thing (only sprained ankle) - when denied her WC claim, she brought in hospital bill and asked "would we at least pay her $500 deductible, pretty please?"
No, you cannot tell her not to wear the shoes. You should, however, keep documentation as to your observations and obtain witness statements. When she files a workers' compensation claim for work place injuries that, in your opinion, are due to the shoes, submit the information to the investigator or attorney handling the case. It should be used for mitigating the employer's liability.
