In Canada yes. For example if you injury your back because you were doing heavy lifting and Workers Comp., sent you to a Chiropractor or physical therapy then after a few days to a few weeks and your doctor clears it then Workers Comp will make a deal with your employer to put you on light duty. This way the employer will pay half and Workers Comp will pay the other half until you are fully recovered.

∙ 11y agoThis will make a mess of your Comp!
There is legally nothing stopping you, But why?
If you quit: WCB (in Canada) will change or cancel your payments.
If you get another job and start work: end of you payments.
Start work at another job it means the end of your therapy and such.
Talk to your WCB rep regarding problems with your employer and job before doing anything!
WCB will be a lot more realistic if not helpful if your employer is not being reasonable and you talk to them first!
