The insurance company will sometimes get the employer to offer "light duty" work so they can avoid paying lost wage checks or Temporary Total Disability (TTD) to you. Generally speaking, you should try to perform the light duty work, as long as the work offered is "reasonable". The employer should not ask you to perform any duties that are beyond your doctor's work restrictions.
