I left for maternity leave on 12/16/2020 my return date was supposed to be March 9,2021 my employer didn’t let me return to work unless I agree to their terms. I lost a week of pay because they postpone my return date. My hours also change . Can I sue ?

This is, of course, something you should have discussed with your attorney ahead of... Read more »
