What is the name of your state? Michigan
I was on STD for 6 months - returned to work by Dr. but employer had no job for me so I was put on unpaid leave of absence. A job was posted and I was offered the job - however it is located 28.68 miles from my home (1 way). My previous job (before STD) was located 5 miles from my home. I refuse the job offer because the location is to far away from my children (45 minute drive). The employer said they are considering my job refusal a resignation. I told them I'm not resigning - just continuing to look for a job at the location I've worked at for 17 1/2 years!
Is there any legal requirement that says if you refuse a job within a specific distance from your home your employer can say you have resigned???
