What You Need To Know
If you have suffered a workplace injury or illness and WCB substantiates that you are ready to return on modified or light duties you must:
1. Get from your employer a description of the work you will be
doing on modified duties.
2. Take the description to your doctor and ask if this work is
suitable for your return to work.
3. If your doctor says the work is not suitable, you must obtain
a letter from your doctor explaining why the work is not
suitable.
If you simply provide a letter that states “no light duties” without an explanation or reason, WCB will cut off your benefits.
It is very important to follow these steps!
