If an employer did that, depending on the laws of that state, the employer could be liable for any additional injury the person might sustain while still under a doctors care and not having a "return to work" authorization from that doctor. You would have to check your own state's law with regard to a more specific answer.

If a doc says they can do light duty, then they can be hired for light duty. The employee would need to notify WC of the change in income though. Why would they not go back to their other employer?

Not really. If you do then you are taking on the risk that this person will have a claim with your company. If they are on workers' comp, then they are already working for someone.

yeah,but I am not sure why this would occur. Seems like a liability to me.
