No. If your doctor has stated restrictions the employer must work within the restrictions or provide retraining for a position that will suit the need provided there is an open position in the company. Furthermore, you can call an employment law attorney in your area who can advise you further.

Should you receive your hourly wage from your employer while attending scheduled follow up visits to the doctor for your work comp injury?
That is up to your employer. In every state there is a waiting period before you would be able to collect money for lost time from work. Example: The waiting period for NY is 7 days, but in California the waiting period is only 3 days. Lets say you are a injured worker from California and your Dr said you were able to work, but had to have certain work restrictions. Your employer does not have any alternative work for your because of your restrictions. After three days you would be entitled to lost time wages. However, if your employer was able to accommodate your restrictions, you will have to return to work, or take personal time off. Lost time does not include any appt that you might have for follow ups or any time of physical therapy/chiro. This is for every state. So by law, your employer does not have to pay you any time that you have to take off work for an appt.
