    Not sure but you might want to check on the Family/Medical leave act. Something about they have to place you back in your same position or similar position if you have to be out for a medical reason.

    Yeah I think the way that law works is that they don't have to give you back the same position but they have to give you the same pay. That sounds really fucked up, I think if I were you I would just go get consult with a lawyer and if they say that she is protected under that law (or any other) ten you can threaten to sue buest buy. That should get her job back, I doubt you would actually get to the point of needing to hire the lawyer.

    You are allowed up to 12 weeks of leave before your position or an equal position can be taken from you. Call the Dept of Labor.

    and that is only if you use the FMLA, if you use vacation time then that does not come into play until the end of the time.
