Under the new legislation there is not much you can do because there are really no vocational benefits. However, for an offer of modified work to be considered valid the pay must be 85% of the pre-injury pay and the same hours. Obviously, this offer of modified work is somewhat invalid. Yet, you are working. If there is no modified work available, then your are out of work.
