Hurt myself at work a few weeks ago and was told to file workers comp . I've seen a doctor and he said I can go back to work next week and he wrote me a letter excusing me from work . I never filed the workers compensation form out because I was brought up being told workman's compensation is for people who can't go back to work and I know my injury isn't going to keep me out very long. So fast forward and I got a text telling me to call the office asap and now I'm worried I'm going to be fired by phone for taking off so long and not having enough paid time off . Can I be fired for not doing workers compensation ? I don't know where else to ask .
