Return to Former Position. An employee returning from family or medical leave is entitled to the position held before the leave began, if the position is vacant. If, however, the former position is not vacant, the employee must be returned to “an equivalent position having equivalent employment benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment.” If an employee would have been terminated during statutory leave for legitimate business reasons, such as a layoff or other reduction in force, the employee has no reinstatement right.
