Answer 1

It is legal. However, you are not the only one I'm sure that has been injured on the job and must now be accommodated. If they are not experiencing the same problem, I would go to HR and complain. The law requires equal treatment. If they have a regular work place and a regular work schedule, you should too.

Although that may be what they are trying to find out. Where you can now best work. If so, it is time to press them for a decision.

Answer 2

No they do not.  When they have work, they will schedule you.

No work, no schedule.
