No, it is illegal to discriminate against an employee who suffered an industrial injury. You are actually entitled to earn sick leave and vacation time and senority while you are off. Your boss probably does not know the law; tell him to speak to his WC insurance carrier [although the adjuster may not have full knowledge either].
