Common used techniques is to give annual, sick leave or break when employee is injured seriously and become unable to work tomorrow or during entire shift.
Second, some companies modify the work duties and register it as Modified Work Injury (Restricted Work Injury or Alternative Work Injury). For instance: Company requests an employee that “come tomorrow and read Safe Working Procedure or conducts survey on Safety Alerts. Salary will be paid 100%”.
Third, Register LTI as MTI and negotiate with employee about no reporting to Government Agency and explain to employee that "how bad when LTI is registered on Company’s name and do it for Company's sake because you're a hero".
What are the triggers to downgrade LTI?
- Safety bonus for employees promotes it. Peer pressure comes to injured employee to hide or downgrade his/her injury level to provide safety bonus for his/her colleagues.
- Higher LTI rate means higher Insurance rate. More money will be paid to Insurance when LTI rate is greater.
- Client’s intention to hire Company with lower LTI results. Contractors has an unwritten duty that no LTI on Client’s premises. Even mutual agreement is signed between both companies that states, if LTI is occurred x-percent of payment to Contractor will be ceased.
- Prosecution from Government Agencies if there is a LTI.
- Ambition of the Company.
It is actually Tragedy.
