(b) An eligible employee who returns to work after taking organ donation leave is entitled to be restored by an employer:

(1) to the position of employment held by the eligible employee when the organ donation leave began; or

(2) to an equivalent position with equivalent employment benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment.

(c) An employer may deny restoration of the eligible employee’s position of employment under subsection (b) of this section because of conditions unrelated to the exercise of rights established under this subtitle.
