Re: Family Medcial Leave
You cannot add your vacation and sick time to the 12 weeks of family leave, unless company policy allows for it. 12 weeks is the maximum time the law will protect your job. Your accrued vacation and sick time will allow you to get paid while you are on leave, until it runs out.
