Can I Get Fired While I’m Still Under Texas Workers’ Compensation?
After suffering an injury at work employees are entitled to receiving compensation if they are unable to work. Any employee that is allowed to go back to work with certain restrictions can still receive partial wage loss benefits if the salary is lower after returning to work.
However, if a person gets fired from their job, all of their income loss benefits will be terminated. As a result of this factor, employers sometimes terminate the employment of a person during their recovery.
