Kenneth is an employee at ups and is required to be able to lift up to 50lbs one day he was playing basketball with his friends
and injured his back he has been experiencing severe back pain at work and has not been able to lift anything while at work so ups terminated him Did the UPS act legally explain?
No, the UPS employer is not acting legally by firing Kenneth. As long as an employer is able to fulfill all of the requirements of the job then they are protected and cannot legally be fired without proper reason for termination. If the employee gets injured on the job they are eligible for filling a workers' compensation claim. If an employer fires an employee for any on the job related injury then they are doing so illegally and can be sued by the employee for doing so.
