Employment Law Compliance: Disciplining or Terminating a Workers' Comp Claimant

• Overview
• Credits

These reference materials will address many of the difficult issues that arise when considering whether to discipline or terminate an employee who is also a workers’ compensation claimant. These reference materials will cover the core concepts underpinning workers’ compensation statutes and the primary types of anti-retaliation provisions found in workers’ compensation statutes. This reference set will then examine the steps you can take when disciplining or terminating a workers’ compensation claimant to avoid allegations of retaliation and, if such a claim is raised, to defeat it. Finally, they will cover the interplay between the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family Medical Leave Act with workers’ compensation statutes.
