Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

I just returned to work after 12 weeks of maternity leave. On my first day back, the administrator let me know that there is not enough work for me and they need to cut my hours from 30 to 25 a week. They will prorate my vacation time and sick days to 5 hour a day as well.

No one else in my department was cut, I have been working at this place for 12 years and there are people with my same title who have been working less time, and none of them were demoted. I feel that I have been singled out. Is this legal? I live in New York.

Thank you
