More details to this question:
My employer tried to bully me over a neck injury at work to avoid having a lost time injury on their safety record. Now I'm released on light duty and my employer is unresponsive.

The employer may have an obligation to provide light duty, but it depends on your injury, the nature of the work and what has happened in the comp case. You should talk with a workers compensation lawyer.
