If I have an FMLA restriction to work no more than 8 hours per day and no more than 40 hours per week, can my employer change my normal work scheduled from M-F to T-S. Saturdays are not guaranteed hours as they cancel them often. Therefore, this leaves me

My new FMLA paperwork was received. My restrictions are no more than 8 hours a day and no more than 40 hours per week. Also two consecutive days off. My normal work schedule is Monday - Friday. My employer is now telling me that they are changing my work scheduled to Tuesday - Saturday. I would not have a problem with this if I was guaranteed 40 hours per week. However, we typically work out of Saturdays. We are lucky to work 2 a month.

Just some quick observations -- 1. Scheduling is the employer's prerogative; (2) it would be illegal if the employer changed the schedule to reduce your hours as punishment for exercising or having FMLA.
