Legal Answer
It may be a violation of the Act, but more information is needed. In general, when a person takes FMLA, upon their return, the employer must give them their old job or a similar job. You didn't state why he couldn't give you yoru job back. Does someone have your job? Has their been other cutbacks in the company where others have had days cut by 40%. All these things, as well as others, are important.
You can contact me with further information. Also, to obtain a general overview of FMLA, you should visit the Department of Labor's website. (www.DOL.gov). The agency has detailed information about your rights.
