It's wrong to fire someone just because they got injured.
John owns a small construction business, and one of his workers just fell off a roof.
John wants to make sure his business's worker's comp rates don't go up.
John offers to give the worker eight weeks of informal paid leave without the need to file a worker's comp claim.
John claims that the worker was drinking on the job and therefore can be fired for cause.
John's worker has time to recover from his injury and John doesn't have to pay more for worker's comp insurance.
The worker files suit for wrongful termination and his coworkers testify on his behalf, and the resulting settlement bankrupts John.
