Re: workman's comp
It depends....the workers' compensation law says that no employee can be discharged because the employee made a valid claim for compensation benefits. If the denial of work is a 'discharge' it would be illegal as long as the settlement didn't include a resignation and general release. I would need more information to give you a better answer.
