Protecting Your Rights in Modified Duty Job Offers

If you are a federal worker who has been hurt on the job, under certain circumstances, you may be provided a modified-duty job offer.

When you file for compensation for a work-related injury, you may undergo a medical examination from a doctor chosen by the Department of Labor. That doctor may make a determination that you can return to work with certain limitations on the tasks you can’t perform. On the other hand, your own doctor may release you to a limited duty job with certain restrictions that must be met in order for you to return to work.

If either of these scenarios happen, your employer may give you a written job offer. You don’t have to simply accept the modified-duty job offer and return to work, however. You have rights, and it’s important to discuss them with an experienced lawyer who understands the law and legal process of federal workers’ compensation.
