Probably not. Get a lawyer before you get hurt.

No, it is not legal. The firm has a duty to protect you from injury, if they breach that duty they are liable.

Doesn't sound right to me. I'd guess that's not exactly what it says.

In Alabama, it is against the law to fire someone solely for filing a comp claim. However, they can come up with any other reason or no reason and it's ok. If you are hurt on the job, you will be entitled to comp benefits, regardless of whether they suspend your pay.

It doesn't sound legal to me. Report your employer to the Idaho Department of Labor.
