If you already submitted the medical restrictions note to your employer, your employer must engage in a good-faith conversation with you about possible reasonable accommodations that can be made for you. Your employer cannot simply tell you that there is no work for you and send you home without having a good-faith conversation with you. If your employer fails to have a good-faith conversation with you about possible accommodations, you may be able to file a lawsuit against your employer.
Because these situations are extremely fact specific, it is important to speak to an experienced employment attorney about your situation to determine if you have a case. Contact Luna Legal Firm P.C. for a free phone consultation at info@lunalegalfirm.com.
