Hello there,
I injured my back on the job at a chain store. MRI was all approved and paid for by insurance carrier for workman comp. Now, my manager started changing work schedule to much more difficult area, not within my earlier job title. I requested for change back to regular work area and provided doctors excuse and restriction to light duty. I had medical procedure last week, went to work and presented note requesting change back to reg work area. The pain was extreme and I felt I could not be held responsible for my actions should anything happen, but i was forced to work difficult area. The manager on duty told me to go home, which I did. The store manager then fired me for "walking out" on job. Is this legal and what recourse i have? Please reply.
Thank you so much!
