Legal Question in Medical Leave in Virginia
Leave of absence due to adopting
My employer reduced my hours when I came back to work and gave the hours to the new employee that worked for me while I was gone. Is this legally allowed under the FMLA? I did sign a leave of absence that stated that this may happen, which apparenly she planned on giving my hours to the new employee.

Re: Leave of absence due to adopting
The FMLA requires that an employee taking leave under the Act be restored to the same or comparable position, pay and benefits upon returning to work.
