California
Here's the deal; I get up to four months of personal leave of absence pending local manager approval.
This is for a part-time job I have in which I only work 15 hours per week.
I do I job most of the other people there are trained to do as well,.
I'm being denied my LOA based on Business needs; I'm coming back right before Black-out days and when the season picks up (Christmas).
There are about fifty on-calls who are also trained to do what I do as well as many part-timers and 30 hour a week employees who want more hours.
I'm paid above market; any replacement would cost them less.
I find their reasoning, well, "Bullshit".
I know what they're doing; they stated they'd hire me back for Christmas, however, I know they're going to start my pay over again and I'd be back at minimum.
Do I have a legal recourse?
