my doctor puts me on limited duty?

Question

and we i get help from the manager or try to they tell its part of my job either do it or you will be soory if you refuse can they do that when your on limited duties

Answer 1

You are on limited duty because.....

If accident at work, your covered under worker compensation, and company should respect the limitations. On the other hand, if you were injured off the job, or contacted some illness that required limited duty, you have certain obligations not to engage in any activity which would endanger your health or aggravate your condition.

If your supervisor insists that you perform work which you and your doctor feel would be detrimental to your well-being, then I would recommend that you tell the supervisor that you are refusing due to health condition, and that if s/he persists in threatening you, that you will exercise your options - legal and otherwise.

Answer 2

I can't imagine any employer taking the risk of allowing someone to work a regular schedule when they have been tagged as only capable of "limited duty". He faces a lot of potential insurance liabilities if he forces you to work outside the bounds of normal work duties. He also may not have any way to accommodate a "limited duty" employee. Either way, if I were you, I would inform your employer of your doctor approved limitation. If he can't or won't work you that way, you have the choice to lay out until you are cleared or try to do the work and chance getting injured. Good luck.

Answer 3

When you are on limited duties they are supposed to give you other stuff to do and if they dont your job can get in a lot of trouble but I really dont know if I answered your question because it is quite unclear

As a nurse's help, it somewhat is available she ought to finally end up in a difficulty the place she has to violate her "easy duty" for the protection of the sufferers. Her company can't possibility that.

Answer 5

It does look like this is not a friendly manager to ask help from. If for medical reasons you can not work, you manager should help you to get through the difficult period. If your immediate supervisor is not helpful enough, you should go to his/her supervisor to explain. Legally, your employer should help you. But if even the owner of the company is not so friendly, you should consider looking for another job, unless you can afford to bring them to court.
