Add Comment Question: Injured myself before Christmas break on the jjob, went away for Christmas came back to cut hours then aggravated my shoulder again, took a day off and was laid off the very next day. Answer: I am sorry that you got injured and lost your job likely as a result of it. While reinstatement is not a realistic option the company owes you a severance package as well as additional damages if you are able to prove that your dismissal was connected to your injury or need to take time off for medical reasons.
