undefinedWhat is the name of your state? PA
I use to work for a small company installing fence products until i was permently laid off. The reason this... Last November I tore my Acl while riding my 4-wheeler. So clearly this is a non work related injury. Since then I had a minor surgry to repair some minor things and to see the extent of damage to the acl. Until I had this surgry I was in pain often and was only at 50 percent. But once the surgry was complete and with the use of a brace I am 95% or better. Still capable to out perform other employees. They let me go because a. I am incapable of performing my job, which is untrue. and second beacuse I am a "liability" Which is untrue... even if I further injury myself workmans comp would laugh at me due to the well documneted injury and how it happend. So... my Question...
Are they in the right to permently lay me off to get my knee fixed and expect me to pay for my health insurance when I have a docotrs note that does not limit me in anyway and says that i am fine to work?
sorry it got a little long.
