I was released for modified work from my dr. with restrictionsof only one handed work. He put no hourly restrictions on although when I took my release to my employer he is only letting me return to work at 5 hours per day. I am not doing my regular job but one they made up for me. The doctor said I could return at full time,why is the employer placing restrictions on my hours? Is this legal? I thought the dr. was the only one that could place restrictions on the work hours? Also I have heard after you return to work employers like to "let you go", have any of you had experience with this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Your employer may have 'made up' a job for you to do in order to accomodate your restricted duties. It's not always about punishing you or trying to force you out the door with less hours - which could get them in trouble. The duties they were able to find for you to do with one hand may one require five hours of work a day.
