If the first shift has light duty as does the second shift then yes, your employer can change your shifts as long as that duty is light and not heavy work. If it is heavy work you can report your employer to Worker's Compensation or Labor Relations.

Assuming that the injured employee is physically unable to perform the job or has doctor imposed work restrictions ...
