The DOL (Department of Labor) Office is one who write the rules in each state which governs full time and part time as well as workmans comp. Myself I was on workmans comp for 1 hour 2x a week for a month and my boss didnt say a word. Then again I was only leaving 30 minutes early each day.

Yes, in Massachusetts, an employee can be laid off while on short-term disability. However, the employer must comply with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and any applicable state laws, ensuring that they do not discriminate against the employee for taking leave. It's important to understand that while being on short-term disability may provide some protections, it does not fully shield an employee from layoffs if the employer has legitimate business reasons. Employees should consult with an employment attorney for specific advice regarding their situation.
