Re: demoted while on worker's comp
In general, when you go out on Workers' Compensation, the emoployer does not have to hold your job open. However, the employer is also not supposed to retaliate against you for going out on comp. Therefore, one would have to examine the employer's motivation and records to determine if there has been retaliation.
