Legal Question in Medical Leave in New York
I have been off on recognized FMLA. I am returning to work and was told that my position was eleminated prior to my return, they then offered me pay for 1 month w/o returning to work because I will be laid off at the end of the year. My question is can they eleminate my position. The employer is aware that I am filing a harassment suit against them. There are also other positions w/n the company that I do qualify for
