What should we do if an injured employee wants to add work activity that the physician has not approved?
Respect your employee’s initiative and communicate with the physician to develop guidelines to try additional work activity. Make it clear to the employee that if it turns out to be more than he/she can physically tolerate, it is the employee’s responsibility to stop immediately and communicate with his/her supervisor and physician for further instructions.
