Part 8: The Case of the Missing EDD Document
When Chrysti Corkill went out on FMLA for her own medical condition, she applied for California State Disability. This was known to PEIC because we received the EDD Notice of Disability Claim form.
This is a form that must be completed by the employer and returned to the EDD within 48 hours. When we received this form, I filled it out and showed it to Daryl Tilghman, who approved it, and I mailed it back to the EDD.
I put a copy of the completed form into Chrysti’s file.
It disappeared.
It’s an important document and, if you will recall, during the October 22, 2010 EDD hearing the judge asked Daryl Tilghman if he had that form.
He fumbled around and it was never produced.
And strangely, when Chrysti’s personnel file was subpoenaed by Josh Gruenberg, Chrysti Corkill’s attorney, the EDD form was not produced by PEIC’s attorneys either.
A subsequent request to PEIC has also produced no results.
Rather interesting, don’t you think?
But not to worry, because we have a copy of it now. This is the EDD Disability form that I completed, that Daryl approved, that I made a copy of once I completed the form, and placed in Chrysti’s file.

I read all of these “Parts” and am absolutely flabbergasted at how a company could/did allow this type of behavior and look the other way!
That’s why I’m writing all this. As a case study for HR professionals, it’s fascinating. For the average employee, it’s a look behind the scenes to see just how bad things can get.
From what I’ve seen there, if management finds it will benefit them, they’ll do it. But once it’s not to their advantage, they change their rules to better meet their own wants with no consideration for their staff. This hasn’t felt like one of those companies that makes their employees feel appreciated.
The final parts of my story will illustrate your point well. Stay tuned…
