And the fact that she has given notice to leave the company does not alter what the two jobs actually are. Is the first employee's job one that can be done in a Light duty situation? (less hours, or not be able to do all of the duties) An employer is not under any obligation to take employees back on light duty if it is more burdensome to do so. If it means that someone else has to finish up the work, or it's more work for someone to come in and figure out what was done and then complete it.

An employer is not under any obligation to take employees back on light duty if it is more burdensome to do so. If it means that someone else has to finish up the work, or it’s more work for someone to come in and figure out what was done and then complete it.

As far as light duty, it's possible that the second employee has different bsckground or skills that fit some light duty assignment the first employee isn't qualified for.
