Worker's Comp Benefits After Being Fired

Attorney Joseph Miller

If I’m fired, should my benefits be cut off? The answer is that the North Carolina Industrial Commission seems to demonstrate an understanding that if you give the employer an inch, they’re going to take a mile. If you were to allow employers to just fire employees every time they got hurt, then they would be firing people every day, and nobody would get benefits.

In other words, if they could fire somebody and by automatically firing them cut off their benefits, who’s going to get compensation? Everybody would be fired.

So again, under North Carolina law, just because you’ve been fired, it does not mean that you’re going to lose your benefits.
