My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: NJ
I have a friend that has been on disability leave since January of 2015, and has been cleared to return to work. However, the owner of the company will not reinstate her position, she can not apply for Unemployment benefits as she is technically still "employed". She is getting the run-around from the owner of the company about being reinstated. She has two children that will be going back to school in little over a months time, she has no income coming in at this time, her bills are stacking up, and she is stressed out completely by this matter.
Is there anyone she can contact, or go to, to get this matter resolved so that she can either get her position back, or apply for unemployment benefits? I have exhausted all my resources at this time trying to find the right course of action to take, that she has already went through. If someone can give me a good understanding of what she needs to do I can and will pass that information along to her.
Thank you for your time,
J.W. Marshall
Again I apologize if this thread is in the wrong topic
