Dear All,
I have been working at Limited Company for the past 4 years. Five months ago, I had an accident outside the company (not on duty). After recovering and taking some rest, I rejoined the company. However, after a month, they transferred me to a job that requires me to stand for 8 hours a day and perform other heavy tasks.
After a few months in this new role, I experienced back pain again. An X-ray revealed that my back bone is damaged, and I had to start treatment. I wrote a letter to my General Manager and HR requesting lighter duties due to my medical condition, but they refused and are insisting that I continue with the current job despite submitting medical certificates advising against heavy labor.
I am unsure of what steps I can take next. What are my rights in this situation?
Thank you.
From India, Suri

Dear Devendra,
Do you experience any discrimination or victimization, or is it part of the routine and regular job that aligns with your role, position, and designation as per the company's rules and structure?
If there is no victimization, you do not have any legal standing to refuse the assigned job. All you can do is obtain a doctor's certificate recommending a lighter job and request management to consider your case sympathetically.
