Section 4(h) of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act provides, “it shall be unlawful for any employer to coerce or discriminate against, harass, refuse to rehire or recall, fire or threaten to fire or force to resign” any worker in retaliation for filing a Workers’ Compensation claim. Should your employer fire or in some manner forces you to resign, you have the right to file what is known as a Retaliatory Discharge lawsuit.
