Re: Can my pay be reduced because of a temporary medicial problem?
Depending on the specific facts of your situation, you may be eligible for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act(FMLA) If your employer is covered under the Act and you are not a "key" employee, it may be illegal for them to reduce your pay and move you to a smaller store. You can get information on the FMLA at www.dol.gov/esa/whd/fmla/
