    Question Demoted After Being Injured on the Job

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Ohio

    I work at a movie theatre as a projectionist (the guy that makes the movies play). On Thursday while working on a film print, I injured my hand. I notified my supervisor and filled out the proper forms (company incident report, and state workman's comp form) within an hour of the incident. The following Monday I was told that I would be demoted to a lower position. When asked why, I was told that the demotion was so that I won't get injured anymore. I had also been injured 6 months before doing a similar task while on the job. I then, as now, went through the wonders of workers comp.

    The current injury does not effect my performance and should be completely healed in about a week. The previous injury was worse, but also did not effect job performance.

    So what I'd like to know is, can my employer demote me with the explanation that I've been injured on the job to much?
