upon the expiration of the leave, be entitled to be restored by the employer to the
position held by the employee when the leave commenced or to an equivalent position
of like seniority, status, employment benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions
of employment. If during a leave provided by this act, the employer experiences a reduction in

operation of a bona fide layoff and recall system including a system under a collective
bargaining agreement where applicable, the employee shall not be entitled to reinstatement
to the former or an equivalent position. The employee shall retain all rights under any applicable layoff and recall system,
