Have others been laid off as well? Is the job seasonal in nature where lay-off's occur?

Layoff while on WCB can be tricky and sometimes how employers screw the system because if they can prove this was "normal" for them and that work conditions required it and your time in or position would make you subject to layoff, they can win the case.

If you aren't an employee that's seasonal and you can find active job postings by the company hiring, then you can prove it wasn't a layoff and more of a dismissal which could be due to your injury.
