Herlihy, J.
The claimant sustained a compensable injury on December 6, 1974 when the tip of a finger was cut off and he received a schedule award of 50% loss of his left middle finger. On January 16, 1975 his attending physician certified that he could return to work if it was light duty and did not involve the use of his finger. The claimant had worked for the employer about two years prior to his injury. On January 17, 1975 the employer returned the claimant to work which it was felt the claimant could perform. On May 8, 1975 the claimant was put on "temporary lay off”.
