Hello everyone,
I will try my best to explain my situation, it's a little complicated, hope someone can answer my question.
I'm from New York and am working in giant retail company. I came back to work from work injury and still under a worker compensation and undergoing physical therapy. Due to he nature of my work, I constantly on my feet for long period of time and causing my knees hurt and swollen. My doctor has provided me a note to HR to accommodating me to work 4 days instead of 5 days till recovery. My HR has approved it. Now I am on my third month, but HR told me they cannot continue to accommodating me and have me come back to my regular work. I wonder if this is illegal or against the labor law? My doctor told me that my injury require an ongoing and long-term physical therapy. I have been told by one of my colleague that she works 4 days as well due to her medical issue and my company has accommodating her for over two years. I'm confuse. Please.. I hope someone who is familiar with the NYS employee right and law could help me. I wonder if I should get an employment lawyer?
Thank you very much!
