Read MoreCan I still bring a claim for workers’ compensation benefits if I did not immediately file an injury report?

Read MoreCan my boss force me to see the doctor on my own time?
Yes, if it is possible for you to do so. If you can still perform your job duties given your injuries, or if your employer has made accommodations for your injuries and you are working for pay, then your employer can ask that any doctor appointments or physical therapy appointments be made during your off-hours.
