Can I be laid off while on workers' comp leave?
I am suffering from a repetitive stress injury, similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, because of typing on the computer at work too much. While I was on workers' compensation leave, my employer informed me that I was going to be laid off as part of a reduction in workforce. Isn't this illegal? I thought my job was protected while I was on temporary disability.
