What is the name of your state? PENNSYLVANIA
At the end of October I went on intermittent FMLA because I have a severe anxiety disorder. I was put on full FMLA by my employer because I was having panic attacks. I had to see Occupational Health services before I was allowed to work again. The thing is, I was demoted. I was on FMLA for about 3 months.
I went from a desk job at Quality Final Inspector(QFI)to working the floor as a Quality Assurance Inspector(QAI) which is a level or 2 below where I was.
Their reasoning, because my psychiatrist said to keep my "work duties consistent ". My employer said that because we have what we call a "switch day"(where I, or the other QFI on different shifts, switch places with our SubQFI(who normally works the floor, and covers QFI when absent), can get practice. We have been doing that method for over 2 years.
Now, they gave my SubQFI my position as main QFI and I am stuck working on the floor as a QAI.
Also, I had back surgery in 2016 and my boss put me on a lifting weight restriction of 25lbs, the QAI position requires I believe 50lb weight limit. My employer has all the documents on this from my doctor.
So, can I use them for not giving me my position back?
