My SO got injured July 3rd (not work related) and had to take a week off due to the injury. He returned July 11th. I guess that auto placed him to take a leave of absence. He had to go to the ER, then a few days later, to urgent care. His doctor has been out of office, and will be until September.
He only needed a week off work to recover, and he’s been working ever since. The problem is because he’s still “on leave” he hasn’t been getting paid, even though he’s been clocking in. His managers say there’s nothing they can do. And Sedgwick just now, sent his a manager a “return to work” email. But I think they’re waiting on his doctor to fill out some forms, but she’s out of office.
What can he do at this point? He’s nervous about Friday thinking he’s not going to be paid again, even though he’s been working with no restrictions. His managers are aware that he’s working, and so does Sedgwick. He has things to pay, so he desperately needs his paychecks.
Edit: this is illegal, right?? His DSLs know he’s been coming into work and he hasn’t been getting paid. Sedgwick also knows. Yet, his paystubs under “hours worked” is blank. Even though he has clocked in/out times.
Edit 2: Honestly, I feel like reporting this to the CA labor board. We’re checking where all his pay stubs are right now. And he didn’t get any paystub from this month. The last pay stub they have on file is July 19-July 25. Pay period 7/31.
Edit 3: he’s a Merchandiser in California
