Legal Question in Medical Leave in Georgia

Can the employee return to a job that is the same except for the hours. Job before FMLA was 6 hours and after was 5 hours per week. Same hourly rate and benfits.

Thanks Randy

It all depends on why the person's hours and thus his pay has been cut.

Is the employee being singled out? If so, why?

Has there been across the board cuts on employees who hold the same position?

What is the employer's reasons for the cuts?

Is it in retaliation for the leave?

For more on the matter go to the Department of Labor's webpage on FMLA. (www.dol.gov).
