On wcb and my boss lays me off
On September 4th I was working in a new construction home.
I walked into the house to look at the floor in the basement from the landing at the main door.,There was no stairs to the basement, just a drop about 8ft into an area ready to be poured with concrete. There was a tarp and a bunch of bags on the floor so the edge of the landing was covered.. I had a rough India where the edge was
As I peaked over the edge something I went too far and ended up falling head first down into the basement. I had some scarring and bruising on my face and a Stiff neck. My face healed up pretty quick but my neck is still a little stiff and I have been having some back pains now.
I go to see the doctor he allows me to go to work on modified duty, lifting <20lbs. As I hand my boss the doctors note he says well we don't have modified work and long and short he lays me off
I have contacted wcb and told them about what happened and they will look into it. Is he allowed to lay me off? He said I can re apply when I am 100% and might get hired back. So technically I don't have a job. Any advice from people that have went through similar situations?
