Injury/Workers Compensation on Resume?

[pokergod]

So my friend got injured on the job and worked out a settlement to leave the company.

Let say they were an office assistant.

Worked for 2 years, got injured. Went on workers comp, retrained but no position for them upon return. Stayed with the company but no title or work hours. Got weeded out and had a settlement and quit.

What can they put on the resume and what would be considered lying. The record of employment says they worked for 10 years at the same company but in reality only worked as an office assistant for 2 years and the rest was retraining and no hours.

Would the this ok:

10 years of X company as a office assistant
2 years of X company as office assistant - 3 years under the same company to retrain, they rest of the years under the same company?

Some employment services, mention option 2 is the right thing to do but some say option one. thx

I don't think the first choice would work since they could would check to confirm.(the company would state worked at the company for 10 years but, not as that position)
The second choice is closer and would be confirmed.
May get dicey on second interview either way.
1. who was paying for the 5 years?
2. if no hours then what did they provide.
3. maybe say as a consultant during upgrading?

The 5 years was being paid by workers comp and then the workers comp ran out, then they were in a fight for a job back but settled on a cash settlement to quit.

so 10 years at the company - 2 years working as the office assistant - 5 years on workers comp and retraining - 3 years doing nothing, no work, no position, no pay, fighting for a job or more workers comp but settled.

Interesting, to say the least...

A potential employer, who does their due diligence, would ask your old employer a few questions. Without getting into specifics about your injury, they can however divulge your work history,detailing the fact that you didn't actually work during a certain time frame, but were actually on WCB benefits for a time then on some sort of modified duties and they can use language that may seem innocuous, but certainly spells it out what kind of worker you really are, if they feel you've been playing the system. Injuries do happen and we in the western world can be thankful for WCB benefits, but that doesn't mean that they aren't free from scammers, who are lazy and don't want to work, because you can get paid for doing nothing. WCB costs to companies is nothing to sneeze about.
