No they can't fire you, but you must keep making your doctor's appointments and be sure your doctor writes a note you can leave at the office where you work. If you can't do your job(for example: A back injury) then it's up to the company to find you a job in their company that you can handle.
I suggest you phone the Labor Relations Board and ask them a few questions so you are sure you are on the right track.
Good luckMarcy
Or call the Dept. of Labor,or go to their website.
Workers compensation insurance is nothing more than "workers compensation insurance". Your question is similar to asking what type of auto liability insurance does a person who drives a car need. There is not "type of workmans com" insurance. Just ask your local insurance agent to help you obtain workers compensation insurance and he will give you a quote.
The employer, the insurance company, your state board of insurance and your state's workers' compensation bureau are all good to contact about Work Comp insurance fraud.
In the state of Illinois, the employer is required to carry workman's compensation.
The cost will vary according to the workers compensation code for each job description and salary for the job. Your workers compensation insurance carrier should give the employer a matrix describing how each job description is charged. This information can also be obtained from each states workers compensation offices for their district.

This is usually called "Workers' Compensation Insurance", or "Workers' Comp" / "Workmans Comp" for short.
You should still be collecting workmans comp if the doctor hasn't released you back to work. Workmans Compensation is an insurance that your employer bought. You can't collect unemployment if you haven't been released back to work from the doctor. You have to be ABLE to work to collect unemployment.
No.
Workers' compensation is a type of insurance that provides financial benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. It covers medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and a portion of lost wages for the injured worker. The purpose of workers' compensation is to ensure that employees are protected and provided for in the event of a workplace accident or injury.
If you are collecting workman's compensation in the state of Florida, you cannot work. If they put you on light duty, they cannot reduce your pay.
