Question

ricardo twists his ankle at work but does not immediately realize that he is injured because his ankle is not sore or swollen, and therefore he does not report the injury to his employer. the next morning, ricardos ankle is sore and swollen, and he realizes he has the kind of injury he is required to report to his employer. he reports the injury to the employer that day. his employer disciplines ricardo for failing to report his injury immediately as required by the employers injury reporting rules. did the employer misuse a disciplinary program against ricardo for reporting an injury? yes no

Explanation:

Ricardo didn't immediately realize the injury (ankle not sore/swollen initially) and reported it when he became aware (next day, after symptoms appeared). The employer disciplined him for not reporting "immediately," but Ricardo couldn't report an injury he didn't know he had. So the employer misused the disciplinary program as the non - immediate reporting was due to lack of awareness of the injury, not intentional non - compliance.

Answer:

Yes
