RESTRICTIONS
Workers Compensation In Minnesota
Common question and concerns regarding work restrictions after being injured on the job:
- What if I can’t do my job because of restrictions?
- My boss (employer) isn’t following my restrictions.
- I can’t return to work with restrictions.
- They won’t let me leave for doctor appointments.
- What if I can’t do my job within restrictions?
- I am working outside my restrictions.
- Can I be fired because I have restrictions?
- If there is no light duty or alternative job available, then what?
Following a work injury it is extremely important that you seek regular medical care to provide documentation of any work restrictions you may have. If you are unable to return to your regular job duties after a work accident and a doctor has given you restrictions your employer must provide work for you that falls within those restrictions. Your employer cannot fire you if a doctor has restricted you from your regular job duties. They either have to find light duty or alternative work that is within your restrictions or vocational rehabilitation and retraining if you are unable to do your previous job.
