i sent a letter yesterday and after reading it it could be confusing. Let's start over. i have worked for a beverage company for 34 years. i am the branch manager and no where in my job description does is say i should do physical work. so for years i delivered kegs cases, loaded trucks, unloaded trucks drove trucks. kegs weigh 160 lbs and cases 20 on cans 30 on bottles. About 25 years ago i started having lower back issues but being a company man i worked through them. about 4 months ago i developed cervical back pain say a doctor and he recommended surgery for both the cervical an lumbar. i choose the cervical, surgery was fine and i was back at work in 7 working days. While this was going on we are merging with a larger company. the owner wanted a doctors excuse so they can issue a return to work letter. if they cut my pay or time or restrict me in anyway, would they not be liable for letting do work that was not stated in my job descrition?
Answer
You could have a non-subscriber worker's comp claim or possibly a disability claim against your employer. You should consult with an attorney to determine whether or not you can pursue a claim against your employer.

You need to consult with a specialist in worker's comp. Try Chad Lee in Austin.
