Legal Question in Workers Comp in Missouri

Re: mo.workmans comp laws on firings

I have to apologize for my colleagues who are using this board to advertise their services without answering or even addressing the question that has been asked.

If the employee has been released from the doctor and is not returning to work, he may get fired. So long as the release from the doctor has not been conditional, i.e., requiring light duty, or limitation in lifting, seating etc...

Generally clearly documenting everything that has been done is a good idea. It is also a very good idea to consult an attorney and to make sure that you get an advice that is tailored to your needs and requirements.

I hope this helps,
