if your employment is covered by FMLA you have 12 weeks of job protection.

If you are temporarily disabled and can’t accept a job offer, you cannot collect unemployment.

I don't know where you are, but in Texas an injured worker can get laid off. Of course, if they do this then the insurance company has to pay benefits. Here's a book about Texas workers' comp laws written for injured workers: *** Link removed. No advertising on the forum please.
