I have a back injury I got at work and am on workmans comp and for six months I've been accommodated and now work is saying they won't do it anymore and want to move me to another lower paying position. They can still accommodate me if they choose to. Is this legal?

If this is a CA WC claim yes they can however if you have not been declared to reach Maximum Medical Improvement you would be TTD which means that you cannot work because you are recovering. I recommend you get a WC attorney. Good Luck!
