What is the name of your state? montana
our employer has implemented a new workmans comp policy and is asking employees to sign it. it says that anyone who is injured on the job has and is off work 30 days will be terminated 30 days from the date of injury unless they report back to work. they will terminate health insurance and 401k benefits after 30 days from date of injury. they also said you will be given 2 years to reapply for a position if one is open, and you will be hired back. i was told the part about having 2 years to reapply is montana state law. what about the rest? there are several employees at my company who this applies to right now. they were all injured in accidents and negligence on their part (slipping on the ice because the company did not maintain walkways and entry ways). also, one part time employee slipped on the ice and had a heart attack. he had to have surgery and won't be able to work for several months. would he qualify for workmans comp? if not, why? thank you so much. this is a very time sensitive issue as they are pressing us to sign this "appendice to the employee hand book."
