Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

My employer granted me a leave of absence for personal reasons, and my return to work date was March 2nd. The company now will not let me return to work, as they have put a freeze on any new hiring. I'm not a new huire, I am returning from a leave, which I have in a contract clearly stating I was on leave and would be returning to work March 2. What recourse do I have? I NEED to work!

to work under the condition(s) specified is valid and enforceable for your particular situation, you would appear to be

without a remedy in the employment at will jurisdiction

known as the Commonwealth of Virginia.
