Can we lay someone off while they’re on workers’ comp leave?

02/10/2020

Q: “I have an employee that is currently on workers' compensation leave. He has just been released to light duty. Currently, we are slow and do not have work for him. We have recently laid off some people because we aren’t busy and there’s not enough work. Can we terminate his employment even though he is on workers' comp?” - D., Arizona
