Is an injured employee required to submit to a vocational examination if the employer orders one?

An employer can request a vocational exam after an injury in order to determine if the worker still retains earning power.  In other words, the employer is looking to see if the injured worker can still perform some type of work which might lessen or stop the workers’ compensation benefits he/she is receiving. In such cases, it is best to seek the advice of an attorney who practices workers’ compensation in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
