Legal Question in Medical Leave in Virginia
FMLA and Vacation
If my doctor puts me on a 8 hour a day 40 hour a week note because of pregnancy, and my company is working 10 hours a day, do I have to use 2 hours of my FMLA to leave on my doctors note, and also for any overtime they may work on saturdays. Or does my company have to let me work what my doctor says.

Re: FMLA and Vacation
Why don't you work out an arrangement with your employer that would allow you to work five eight
hour days rather than four ten hour days?
FMLA leave does not apply to overtime.
