Legal Question in Medical Leave in Pennsylvania
Quitting job after FMLA
I have been on FMLA due to the adoption of our child in October. I have been using my accrued vacation and sick time during this time. My husband and I decided that I am going to stay home with the baby. Will I be required to pay back this time, and if so, how long do I have to return to work to avoid this.

Re: Quitting job after FMLA
You shouldn't be. Your accrued vacation and sick time is yours to spend as you wish. The FMLA leave is often in addition to any accrued paid leave. But a savvy employer can construct a policy where the FMLA leave runs concurrent with the paid leave, most employers don't for various reasons.
