Workers' Comp Retaliation
Workers' Comp Retaliation by Your Employer CALLS FOR A STRONG LEGAL TEAM!
Workers' compensation is supposed to help the injured employee recover financially for losses without creating a big expense for the employer. South Carolina workers' compensation is a no-fault system, which means no blame is assigned to anyone. In other words, workers' compensation can be viewed as a compromise that says the employee cannot sue the company for a large recovery but also says the employer accepts responsibility for the injury even if the company is not at fault.
Unfortunately, employers sometimes retaliate — or take an adverse action — against employees who are injured and file workers' compensation claims. Workers' comp retaliation can take many forms. Some examples of employer retaliation include:
- Demotion
- Failure to promote
- Unwarranted poor performance review
- Unwarranted disciplinary actions
- Negative references
- Refusal to rehire
- Unreasonableness in terms of scheduling vacations, days off, or hours
