Legal Question in Workers Comp in Georgia

I was hurt on the job last week and given limitations towards my duties. I arrive today and was told to do a lead position for the duration of my limitation but will not receive lead pay. If I were any other forklift driver on 2nd shift I would be sent home and not forced to do a job above my pay grade without compensation. Am I subject to the above decision without pay compensation?

It appears you are getting compensation, and an accommodation is being made for your injury. An injury generally does not entitle a person to a pay raise and/or an unwarranted paid vacation.
