Worker’s Comp Sundae

Instead of receiving financial compensation for a workplace injury, you are given a coupon for a hot fudge brownie sundae. If this is the case, please contact your union immediately.

While carrying heavy boxes, Luke suffered a slipped disc on the job. Joe, his employer, hands him a worker’s comp sundae instead of papers to file for worker’s compensation.

worker's compensation 

A lottery that rewards stupidity.

Homer: Hey, where's Charlie? How'd he get out of this?
Carl: Uh, he's at home on worker's compensation.
Lenny: Yeah, he got injured on the job and they sent him home with pay. It's like a lottery that awards stupidity.
Homer: Stupidity, eh?

Workers Comp Punk'd 

When a client of a workers comp attorney is rightfully injured from his job yet the insurance company stops sending him checks claiming there is an overpayment. After several months of not receiving check and not allowed to work, the client goes broke. This situation is called by this name because the attorney fooled the client into thinking they were handling the matter and that the client will be getting a check. When the client runs out of money, the attorney shows little remorse on the matter nor suggests any alternatives other then go apply for welfare.

I was on workers comp and they stopped sending me check claiming they overpaid me. Two months went by and I still didn't have a check. I got thrown out of my apartment and I had to turn in the plates on my car because I couldn't pay my car insurance. I totally got Workers Comp Punk'd !!!

workers comp hustle 

The act of deliberately injuring yourself on the job to collect workers' compensation insurance. The phrase was immortalized in the Canadian classic movie Fubar 2, when Deaner broke his leg with a 60lb pipeline beam in order to collect some WCB.

I just can't take it up here in the Ft. Mac oilfields. The work is hard, the hours are long, and the job sucks. Time for the workers comp hustle.
