They are heartless. Believe me.
You can be fresh out of hospital, on morphine, but if you don't hand that form in , in person, on time, you will have your payments cut.
I understand they could be intimidated but there are laws and this isn't short of criminal. Not neglect. There is something that's called preservation instinct and common sense that should kick in at some stage too. No job is worth your life. All they had to do is say no and report the agency for not providing a safe working environment. Everybody's in the same boat. I'm self employed but I still have to pay workers comp just in case I get a paper cut and sue myself.
