Re: Slary

Assuming that your company is covered by FMLA and that you are qualified to take FMLA, then the company would not be able to reduce your salary upon your return from FMLA, unless you are considered a "key employee", which means that your salary is within the top 10% of all employees within 75 miles of your place of employment.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relationship has been created or should be implied. Consult with your own attorney before taking legal action.
