What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
Here is my story: I was taken out of work by my OB on Jan 20, 2009 due to sciatic problems from the long hours of work (3 days/wk, approx 15 hours a day). On April 1, 2009 I gave birth to my daughter. On April 27, 2009 I called me employer to let them know that I would be able to return to work on June 8, 2009. I was told that there was no position for me. Is this legal? FMLA and NJFLA were not used consecutively. Am I entitled to 12 weeks under FMLA and then another 12 weeks under NJFLA? My job was aware that I would not be returning to work until at least May 31, 2009. If someone could help me, I would greatly appreciated.
If I can add: My employer in the mean time hired her son in law, that moved here from Florida, for a year because he couldnt find a job down there. She knows hes going back in a year and he had no prior experience.
