Did you get injured at work? If so contact workmans comp. If not, get your doctor to write a note saying what you can and can't do. If you are a good employee they should work with you. Also ask to be put on light duty - your pay may drop, but you will have less hours and less physical work. Keep in mind though that they do not have to keep you as an employee if you cannot do your job requirements anymore. If you were hurt at work then they do, but if you got hurt on your own time they are not obligated to continue your employment.

Work can not keep you at work with doctors notes....you cant loose your job for following drs. orders...Its up to you to follow the doctors orders and go from there as to what your company does about it...If they try to fire you or punish you in any way you need a lawyer. hope this helps

I should have worded that better. I meant with a doctors note they will have to let you do what you need to do for your health. If you do not have a doctors note and cannot or will not perform your duties then they do not have to keep you. Sorry if I said that wrong.

As said above, get it in writing! The dr will note what you cannot do with your arm on his note. Then if there is light duty at your job, make sure you only do what you r instructed to do by the dr, mgmt cannot make you do more!

Never compromise your health for a job. Get your doctor to write a note. If you were injured at work then apply for workers comp.
