Legal Question in Medical Leave in Illinois

Family Medical Leave.

I took a 2 month leave in Nov for chemo treatments. It was a 40 hour week job. I told them, doctor permitting i would be back the 7th of Jan. 09-Before I had left there was a Payroll position available in my dept. I said I would'nt mind having that Part Time position when i came back if it was still available. Well, they would not give me details on that position as to if I could have it or not, but yet i feel I am being pushed to become part time before I return. There is no other part time position available to take at this time in my dept. I have let them know that. I said I have to be guaranted 25 hrs/wk in writing before I would accept anything. Since we have a new controller, I believe he has his own plans and wants to phase me out. I did tell HR they better not fill my position before my return or without my permission. I do not trust Hr or the head of my dept. Please advise what I can do at this point. Thank You, Bev
