work restrictions
Employment activity limits
Work restrictions are limitations on what tasks an employee may perform, typically imposed after an injury, illness, or medical condition.
A doctor might specify work restrictions such as no heavy lifting, limited standing, or reduced hours.
The term appears frequently in workers' compensation and disability contexts: He returned to work with restrictions after his back surgery.
Light duty or modified duty assignments accommodate employees operating under work restrictions.
