More details to this question:
I have been cleared by my doctor to go back to work but with some restrictions. I was not injured at work. There are many tasks I can still complete with these restrictions. I tried to go back to work but my employer will not let me back until I am completely cleared. Is there anything I can do?

File a claim for unemployment comp. Many employees offer light duty or restricted work only if it is an on the job injury. That is completely legal in GA.
