as long as you have your fmla papers sign from your dr which it should indicate how long he or she is holding you from going back to work, you should be fine, keep in mind you have to make sure your job also have copy of your dr's note and papers at the same time your out. If FMLA has expired your job will not be protected completely, it will be job as available. In other words it does not have to be a equal pay or position.

That depends on what "disability leave" you took. If the employer granted you FMLA leave, then you must be restored to your old job (or a job EXACTLY like it) even if the employer must fire some one to create the vacancy. If you were just off sick or injured, you have no right to your job back, unless found in a union contract. Employers own the jobs and hand them out as they wish - the job is not "yours", but theirs.
