hy go back when I can’t do my regular job?
Injured workers sometimes tell us that they feel punished, being asked to work modified duty, instead of resting at home until they are at full capacity. From a medical perspective returning to a modified job allows you to recondition back up to full duty. From a financial perspective it pays better than disability. From a social perspective your employer can see your handsome face as belonging to their team. From a legal perspective the State of California, Division of Workers Compensation would prefer that you go to work and pay taxes rather than sit home collecting non-taxable income. The state provides financial incentives for your employer to accommodate an injured worker.
