Legal Question in Medical Leave in Georgia

Re: Fmla and disability

Typically, you won't be able to paid vacation time and paid short-term disability time. Most often, this works out by the employee taking the sick time as the waiting period before the employee is eligible to take the short-term disability. however, beware, most often short-term disability does not pay 100% of your wages whereas sick time typically does.

Of course, you first have to be eligible for short-term disability. This is determined by the language of the short-term disability plan.

You should first contact the HR people at your company to get more information about the plan and your options. If, after that you are still uncertain as to what to do, you may want to contact an attorney to work through your options.
