Can an employer terminate an injured employee for suspected workers compensation fraud and abuse?
It isnt advisable. Our legal system is based on the notion that a person is innocent until proven guilty. This includes allegations that they have committed workers compensation fraud or abuse. Employers should discuss termination with their companys attorney, as well as MEM, before they take any action.
