Re: Can you be forced to take vaction time while on FLMA?
Here is the verbatim quote you asked for: "An employee taking a leave permitted by subdivision (a) may elect, or an employer may require the employee, to substitute, for leave allowed under subdivision (a), any of the employee's accrued vacation leave or other accrued time off during this period or any other paid or unpaid time off negotiated with the employer..." California Government Code, Section 12945.2(e). Section (a) refers to the taking of family care and medical leave.
