If there’s no other work for an injured employee, can we terminate?

05/26/2015

Q: “An employee in Oklahoma claims he hurt his wrist while operating a grinder. His supervisor sent him to the doctor. The physician sent him back to work the next day with restrictions. He said the employee should ‘never’ operate a grinder. This is the position the employee was hired for and there is no other available work for him. Do we terminate him or try and make work for him?” – Vincent, Oklahoma
