Legal Question in Employment Law in Louisiana

My son is an at-will employee. He was on leave with back problems for a month. His doctor wants to release him with only light duty. The employer does not want to take him back unless he gets a full release. They have accommodated other employees by giving them light duty in the past, but are now refusing to accommodate my son. Does he have a recourse?
