        "description": "Utah and Idaho law protect against retaliation for filing legitimate workers' comp claims; firing for it is illegal.[1][3] No-fault system encourages reporting without fear.[2] Key factors: Prove retaliation via timing, comments, or changed treatment post-filing; exceptions for unrelated poor performance. Practical guidance: Document interactions, report to labor commission; wrongful termination claim possible separately. Consult attorney if shifts cut or harassed."
