In Canada no, an employer can't lay off or fire an employee on Worker's Comp. However, if the company should cut out certain shifts (one you were on) or goes bankrupt then yes, you could be out of a job.

Can you get fired if you are out on disabiity?

If you are legitimately absent from work recovering from an injury covered under Workman's Compensation you need to check with your state Labor Agency. I don't believe you can be outright fired (unless you are violating the provisions of workers comp) but I'm not so sure that your position can't be 'eliminated' or that you can't be "laid off."


Can you be laid off while being 33 percent disabled through workers comp?

If the employer needs to layoff workers, and follows its layoff procedure, and you are the next lowest in seniority, you are laid off. WC law prohibits dismissing you BECAUSE OF the claim, and does not prohibit separation for any other reason.

If you had surgery and can not work can you collect unemployment?

Might be eligible for Workman's Comp: If the surgery was due to working conditions you might be eligible for workman's compensation, but this is not the same as unemployment. To be eligible for unemployment, you have to be ready, willing, available and ABLE to work, and if you said you could not work, then you are not eligible. If the injury occurred while on the job, you probably are eligible for Workers Comp. Whether not being able to work, otherwise, the claim would depend on the rules of your state's employment security office. Might be eligible to collect unemployment: I'm not certain that's entirely true. If he/she is laid up in bed, then in all likelyhood they would not qualify. It all depends on the nature of the injury/recovery. If, however, they were able to perform modified duty such as sitting in a chair doing data entry, then they would be willing to work. If their specific job does not provide for that type of light duty or there are no available positions to fill, he/she may be entitled to unemployment. i.e. Willing to work, able to work, no work available. Provided they are still employed by the same company.

Can an employer stop workers comp by laying off an employee?

No. If you have been fired (discharged, laid off, let go, whatever) while collecting worker's compensation contact your local state employment office and a lawyer. If your doctor has cleared you to return to work, you must. If you don't return, that is one of the few times you may be fired.
