My Employer is offering me a light duty job, but I’m not sure I can do it. What should I do?

This is a very complicated area but, in short, you should give your best effort to try the job. If you are receiving weekly indemnity payments and the employer offers you a light duty job, certain requirements must be met. Further, if you do not attempt the job or do not complete 8 hours of the light duty job or one workday (whichever is longer), your benefits may be suspended. If you refuse to even attempt it the insurance company the insurance company will use this as evidence that you are being unreasonable and do not want to return to work. For more information on this, see the section “Your Work Status.”
