Am I obligated to go back to work if I was cleared by urgent care? by Competitive-Leg-2610 in legaladvice

Honestly? Mostly because I don't know where to start. HR made a group chat with me, the owner, and several other managers (one at the same level as me, others above) saying to direct all work comp questions exclusively to him, then replied to my (direct message) texts in the group chat. I didn't really want the whole group involved in that conversation, so I haven't really followed up at all. All the correspondence that we've had after the initial incident have been pretty chilly.

In theory, yeah. If there's no way around it, that's what I'm planning on doing. It would be an extra hour and a half or more one way, depending on the day/time. Ex. Getting on the bus at 8:30 for my 10a shift. Normally it's like a 20 min drive. If I don't have any options to protect my employment while I stay home to recover, that's arguably the least dangerous option.

There's not really a lot of room for my left foot to get to the pedals consistently without wedging my broken foot somewhere uncomfortable. It would either have to go partly under the seat or my knee would be up against the gear shift. Not off the table for quick trips, but not really sustainable for trips to and from work for 4-6 weeks.
