Welcome back to Work Comp Talk EPISODE #166
Your seasonal job is about to start. The hours may be long, the workplace may be busy, and you may be focused on getting that paycheck.
But what happens if you get hurt?
Before the seasonal rush begins, there are things every temporary worker in California should know. Because when you're injured at work, not knowing what to do next can leave you feeling confused about your rights and your next move.
In Seasonal Job Alert, Part 2, Carmen Ramirez and attorney Bilal Kassem put your knowledge to the test with real-life workplace situations involving delivery jobs, warehouses, and grocery stores.
THINK YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO?
In this episode, you'll face scenarios that ask you to think about:
What to consider if you get hurt while making a delivery.
What happens when a workplace injury occurs in a warehouse.
What to do when an accident happens while working at a grocery store.
Why knowing your workers' compensation rights BEFORE an injury matters.
Don't just watch the scenarios. Choose your answer before moving on. Knowing what to do before something happens can help you make more informed decisions when it matters most.
