In WC when benefits are denied, you go through a litigation process, that includes the medical/legal evaluation and reports to support or deny your claim. Many times, even though an attorney should not be necessary, one is necessary to represent you in that litigation process and hearing in front of a judge to enforce the laws that govern your benefits. Once you have reached a stable condition...MMI, and are rated for impairment, a predetermined dollar amount of indemnity is due. When you are released to RTW/return to work, you should be returning to your pre injury employer. There may be times the employer cannot make a reasonable accommodation for your successful RTW...or you may take a lump sum settlement that includes a voluntary resignation. There is no reason for you not to return to your pre injury employer...you are technically still a ''employee'' with this company. It would all depend on the actual circumstances of your claim.

Besides that, why would you want to go back to work for them? there are plenty of other hotels you could work for. Why would they hire you back – you have proven to be a liability.

Or they won't have any openings left when you check with them. Most likely I would move on to another hotel. Yes you can, but most likely they will find some other reason for you not to be there.
