Your finance's employer is not obligated to allow workers time off for injuries or to provide light duty. However--1) Your finance is absolutely entitled to apply for worker's compensation (monetary compensation), even if the employer  had not done this for him. He can contact the Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Worker's Compensation, and at the end of this email is link to a FAQ sheet by the Division with helpful information, including where to call to apply.2) If you fiance misses work, he may be eligible to receive payment for at least part of it from disability. Again, he should contract the Division for more information.Here is the link: http://www.myfloridacfo.com/wc/faq/faqwrkrs.html#3
