I'm expecting a child soon and have some questions regarding FMLA and my current accrued time-off with my employer.
Currently, I work as a 100% commission based employee. As a result all accrued time off (vacation and sick leave) is non-paid leave that I am currently eligible to take.
If I were to go on FMLA after my child is born is my employer able to use my currently accrued time off as paid time off to run concurrently with the FMLA leave? Basically, if I choose to take FMLA for my time off, will me vacation and sick time be zero upon my return since it is un-paid leave or will I still have it to draw from? Iv'e read that they can force employees to take their vacation and sick time during the FMLA time off.
I'm not sure how it works when it relates to vacation time being un-paid time to use versus a salary employee that has paid time off leave.
Any help in the clarification would be appreciated.
Thanks,
