Employee Rights in IL?

[Bad Boy Bad Boy]

In Illinois, and mostly any other State, employers have the Legal Right by Law to keep their business running the way it was before your husband was injured. Their customers are their customers.

As for all the employment issues you state, this is a total different set of Laws and Rules, then Workmens Compensation Laws and Rules. Never ever try to merge the two different Laws together, it doesn't work.

You can search the EEOC web site then for State, and simply call them. Over the phone they then will inform you if you have a good reason to file an Employment complaint or not. These people you will talk to on the phone, are like rush-rush, but don't under estimate their knowledge of Employment Law.

Your husband needs a Work Comp Attorney like it was yesterday. Sorry to say this, but his health must come before employment. Being said, he just might not have a job to return to, or if he does return, may never be happy there again. This is something only he can decide on. If he is depressed, he needs to tell his treating doctor so, or you go with him to the doctor, and you tell the doctor. Get it writen in his medical reports, and chart notes. Then the doctor can refer him to another doctor to treat his depression. Depression does not go away on it's own, and seeking medical help and attention is always needed for proper treatment.

Now, you say your from Illinois, can you please tell me where about in Illinois, and what type Sales employment your husband was doing. (EXAMPLE) Like Auto New Car Dealer Sales, or something like that. Don't mention his company name is all.
