We are a skilled nursing facility and need to have full time workers in most of our positions. Our policy for FMLA gives us the right to fill the position and return the working to a comparable position. However it also states that I may be a different shift is this allowed under FMLA

The equivalent position has to do with pay, benefits, privileges, prerequisites, status, and working conditions to the one held previously. In my opinion, the EE could challenge whether or not a different shift constituted equivalency. Is working a midnight to 8 am shift the same as a day shift? One could ask that question under several of the categories described.
You can give the EE the new shift and see what he/she does. Perhaps it can be termporary until the same shift opens up. It may not hurt to ask, perhaps the new shift will meet his/her needs better?
