Legal Question
wrongful termination?
I have been out of work for 2.5 weeks due to a back injury. Upon my last visit to my Doctor, I was given clearance to return to work with the stipulation of lifting no more than 10 Lbs. My employer was concerned about the possibility that I could get hurt again, and then his workman's comp would be threatened. They decided to lay me off instead. Is this legal to do in MA?
Thank you in advance.
