Going to make this as short as possible, can provide more details if needed.

I left my job for 2 months to go over-seas, but had an agreement with my employer to rehire me upon my return. Close to my return, my employer emailed me asking me if I wanted to go into a different position on my return, I said no due to a knee injury I was recovering from and that I wanted to stay in the position I left from.

So I was re-hired into my old position with my Employer fully aware of my condition and my inability to abuse it.

Anyhow, 2 months later, they've been making me do the other position and I pulled a muscle due to working this other position.

Can I be laid off from my job due to my physical inability to do a job that I wasn't hired to do?

I don't know what legally can happen or not. but I think you should give Worksafe BC a call. they can probably help you out.

According to the employment standards, A person cannot be refused work, promoted, fired or forced to work under different conditions because of physical ability

i dont know if that applies to you or not.

I highly doubt you can get laid off by your physical inability. In fact, if you are unable to perform that duty due to you pulling a muscle at work, you should tell that to your employer and make a note of it. They shouldn't be telling you to perform it since you already have an injured knee.

They were fully aware of the situation before they hired me.

Thanks Ghostrider, that's what I needed to know!
