[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  The responses (especially the last few) are what I feared. I knew FMLA was unpaid, but has assumed I could take it unpaid, not that I would be required to use all my paid time off before I could take the rest unpaid (I too was denied LWOP).  I want to preserve leave for after FMLA for both regular 'life' stuff (illness, wedding, funeral, day care closed) as well as  a short vacation once a year or so.[/quote]

If you aren't on any kind of Short Term Disability, I think the reason they want you to use all of your accrued PTO is so that it's not totally unfair to everyone else that you were out (as you should be) for several months, then you come back and have a bunch of paid time off to use as well while your team is compensating for your absence again.

In this country it just doesn't work that way - you NEED to be out because you're sick or your child(ren) is(are) - makes sense, but you want to take voluntary vacation?  Where I've worked it would be suggested that you had saved up your time before having the baby to make that happen.[/quote]
