Supervisor Calling You At Doctors Appointment

I was injured on the job. During a visit to the company's physician my supervisor kept calling the doctors office. My supervisor insisted i return to work immediately. The physician had to answer the phone and tell the supervisor to quit calling she will return to work when the appointment is over. Is this illegal?

Re: Supervisor Calling You At Doctors Appointment

Your supervisor is not your treating doctor to determine when you have to return to work. If You are injured and need to be taken off work due to your injury, you have the right to receive temporary disability benefits. Call us at 213.388.7070 if you need representation.
