Here are 3 excellent sources that discuss your situation. In IL, you can terminate while on WC as long as you have done everything possible for the worker. No hint of retaliation should be open for allegation by a workers’ attorney. The recommendation is to work with the employee’s case worker and be sure everyone understands the concerns leading to the termination. Of course, work with your legal counsel as well to be certain there are no loose ends when severing this relationship.
I hope these sources help you with a final decision. Have a great week!
