[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many women in your situation have figured out a way to make it work. [b]Under FMLA, you are entitled to regular pay and your position.

Sorry, but you are not correct. FMLA guarantees that non-essential employees can take up to 12 weeks off (typically, some states provide a higher limit) from their position for either their own health or to tend to the care of a family member. The time off is unpaid, but if the employer provides short-term disability, sick leave, or vacation, the employee can receive that benefit while on FMLA. You don't get 12 weeks paid under FMLA, followed by your sick leave, vacation (or PTO), and/or disability time.

FMLA provides the continuance of a job (for non-essential employees) after your return. FMLA doesn't provide that the time off is paid.

Sigh.

1. Never said you get 12 weeks paid followed by sick leave.
2. I did say you can use whatever leave you have.
3. Non-essential employees???? That's where you're mistaken.

People would be wise to check with their individual employers about their leave options, just as they'd be wise to check with their own medical team about their health options.[/quote]
