(ROMANDO CRUZ) Hi, hello, good afternoon; my name is Romando Cruz and I'm going to present my story.
In the late afternoon, at 5 o'clock, I was pulling out my cart with a cabinet on it.
The cabinet accidentally fell on my foot.
I noticed that the cabinet was not in good shape.
I didn't report to my supervisor because I knew it's not a big injury.
I rested for two days and came back to work.
The next morning my supervisor went to my station and asked me what had happened during the time of the accident.
I explained to him everything so he knew all about it.
And he gave the cell phone number to me before he went in a meeting and told me that I had to call him back after my shift ends.
I was worrying about being terminated or dismissed from my job.
My wife knew all about it and she decides to call my supervisor back.
My supervisor told her that I had to provide a doctor's note and a medical checkup.
The next day I brought my doctor's note and presented it to my supervisor.
Instead of worrying I am happy of what had happened.
WCB or, Workers Compensation Board, paid my two working days that I didn't work and reimbursed medical expenses.
Now I know how WCB works.
