Employers are prohibited from retaliating against a worker for filing a workers’ compensation claim. If employers could retaliate against a worker for making a workers’ comp claim, or fire them for doing so, it would drastically undermine the workers’ compensation system. Retaliation is not limited to terminating the worker. The following courses of conduct also amount to retaliation: reducing the worker’s pay, including the worker in a layoff, requiring the worker to use vacation time for medical appointments stemming from the workplace injury, or transferring the worker to a less desirable position.
