Many employers will push back when expected to make expensive modifications to allow an employee to come back to work. An ergonomic office chair or a more flexible schedule might seem reasonable to you, but some employers simply do not want to address those key needs. If your employer refuses to make the modifications you need to allow you to get back to work, you may not yet need to return to work, particularly if failure to manage those accommodations may worsen your injuries. Talk to an attorney about your rights and your next steps. You and your employer may eventually agree, or you may need to stay out of work until you recover more fully from your accident.
