Technically this wasn't an on the job injury or rather it would have to be proven in court that my burn out and subsequent illnesses was monocausally work overload related. However, it is all covered under my health plan so I get 63% of my last salary after taxes which is enough to live on without accumulating an unmanageable debt. Technically, I also get a small severance payment but it is all in the form of not having to pay back overpaid salary portions so my debt stays and I will have to deal with it some other way. If push comes to shove, I can always sell a bunch of stuff or ask my family for help so I will be OK =) Cheers Ecke -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
