No, a company is not allowed to cut your hours, suspend, or fire you because you are on Workers Comp. Moreover, if the basis for your claim of Workers Compensation constitutes a disability, there is also a possible claim for unlawful disability discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation. You should contact an employment law attorney who is knowledgeable in these areas. An attorney from my office would be happy to speak with you about this. You can call at (213) 536-4236, email at [email protected], or go to our website at www.sarnofflaw.com for more information.
