Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
Modified Duty - California Workers Comp
Does my employer need to provide me with written notice of job offer for modified duties? They left a message for me to return to work under modified conditions but have not addressed the modifications or the restrictions

When you are at Maximum Medical Improvement (permanent & Stationary, for us oldsters), THEN the PERMANENTLY modified work offer must be in writing and have details. But just to come in for a temporary accomodation to match temporary work restrictions, there's nothing requiring this be written. If you don't report for modified duty, you can be terminated for no call/no show
