The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has ordered Metro North Commuter Rail to pay more than $141,000 to a worker after an investigation concluded that the railroad purposely misclassified the worker’s injury and then denied him a promotion as a result.
Metro North serves commuters in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.
After the worker was hurt in July 2008, the railroad classified his injury as an off-the-job injury even though it occurred at work.
As a result, the worker had to pay his own medical expenses out-of-pocket instead of being covered by Metro North’s workers compensation insurance.
A month after the worker complained to OSHA about the misclassification, he was denied a promotion because of his injury.
