Description

A healthcare worker employed as a weekend lead phlebotomist was terminated in June 2026 while on approved medical leave related to a work-related injury with an active workers' compensation claim. The employee contends the termination was retaliatory and wrongful, as they had received no prior disciplinary action and were explicitly told their workers' compensation case had been approved months earlier. The case involves potential violations of workers' compensation retaliation laws and wrongful termination claims.
