[quote=Anonymous]FMLA question here for someone who has PTO (vs separate sick/annual leave).  My company requires that you use your PTO while taking FMLA time.  Because we have a 1 week waiting period before 5 weeks of disability kicks in, this means that I will quickly run through all my PTO.  After that, I will be able to take Leave Without Pay (LWOP). Until my child turns one, I will be able to use intermittent FMLA to cover work absences.  However, I will also get to one year from birth with no PTO left.  I then am allowed to go negative for 40 hours if needed to cover my illness, religious observances, or a child's illness (hopefully my DH will be able to do most of this) but it seems like I am now doomed to have no way to accumulate PTO, and thus no way to take any time off for any "discretionary" reason.  My company has said I am not allowed to take LWOP outside of FMLA.

Have other people been in the same boat?  If so, what did you do?  If I could take LWOP I'd be fine with that for one or two weeks, but I am not even allowed to do that!  Telework will help a little, but it can only go so far.[/quote]
