What protections exist for employees who file legitimate Workers’ Compensation claims?
Employees cannot be fired, disciplined, or treated unfairly for reporting a workplace injury or filing a claim. Retaliation is prohibited, and employers must allow the claims process to move forward without interference. These protections help workers feel safe reporting injuries.
