Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
workers compensation and LMLA
Hi, i'm on workers comp aug 29th is 3 months, I was just put on another month off, I was told by my HR dept that I would be terminated. Since this was a job related event and I didn't request the FMLA and they didn't send me any notification what they were doing can they still go ahead and terminate me? thanks jeff

Re: workers compensation and LMLA
You should have been on paid temporary disability instead of FMLA, because your injury is work-related. If you get terminated you may file a petition under labor code 132(a) for penalty. Call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation about your case.
