https://osterbauerlawfirm.com/blog/can-you-be-fired-while-on-workers-compensation-in-minnesota/: In Minnesota, it is illegal for an employer to fire you in retaliation for seeking workers’ compensation benefits. Osterbauer Law Firm helps protect injured workers in Minneapolis by safeguarding access to medical care, wage-loss benefits, rehabilitation support, and compensation for permanent impairments during job transitions. While employers may still terminate workers for unrelated reasons such as layoffs or policy violations, warning signs of retaliation can include immediate termination after reporting an injury, disciplinary action for exercising legal rights, or claims of “performance issues” used to hide wrongful conduct. Our team helps document evidence, challenge disputes, fight low settlement offers, and pursue wrongful termination claims when necessary. If you believe your firing was connected to a workers’ compensation claim, do not sign severance paperwork before a legal review, keep records of all communication with your employer, and contact Osterbauer Law Firm at 612-334-3434 for a free consultation.
