Workers’ Compensation Discrimination & Injured Workers’ Reinstatement and Reemployment

An injured worker, in most cases, is entitled to reinstatement to their former position if physically able to return to their previous duties or is entitled to be reemployed to another position within the company the employee can perform, so long as such a position is or becomes vacant.

It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate or retaliate against an employee for making use of the workers’ compensation system.
