work comp case?

officerj

FL employee/employer-injured worker has been with us 30 days, hurt themself and now is expecting to be out of work 4+ weeks.

We currently do not allow this much time off to employees within their probation period and not covered by some type of leave/ADA accommodation.

The injury isn't ADA covered as it is not a disability but a condition.  Concerns about terming the employee based on time away from work and being in the probation period?  Thank you.

Better check your state labor organization's website.  You can bet that you are not permitted to fire someone who is out on workers' comp for such a short period.
