Can I be laid off while on Workers' Comp?Q: Can an employer lay you off while on workmans comp under Wyoming law?
-- Gina, Wyoming

Attorney Cliff Horwitz:

In most states, the answer is that a company cannot retaliate against you for filing a workers compensation claim. You would have to prove that was the reason you were fired. Unfortunately, Gina, I cannot speak for Wyoming law. You should consult a local attorney.
