Legal Question in Workers Comp in Georgia

termination while out

I have received a letter from my employer stating that he is terminating my employment, while I am out on a WC claim. Is this allowed by Georgia law? I have only been unable to work for about 3 months.

Re: termination while out

Unfortunately your employer can terminate your employment with them even if you are out on workers� compensation. However, that does not end their obligation to provide you with workers� compensation benefits, including medical care and indemnity benefits (if you remain disabled). If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Good luck.
