Legal Question in Medical Leave in Florida

Family Medical Leave

It was my understanding that FML would provide income to me after I had used up my sick leave time, Does it compensate for wages ? I am embarassed to ask my employer. I am on maternity leave from my full time job as a teacher, they are paying their share of my health and life insurance benefits for 3 months but have mentioned nothing else. I work in Marion County Florida.

Re: Family Medical Leave

Under the federal law, there is no compensation for time taken under the Family and Medical Leave Act. However, state law may provide for greater benefits than the federal law. Because of this, you should consult with an attorney licensed in your state to discuss your rights under state law.
