No, FMLA leave is unpaid. However, employees utilizing FMLA for personal illnesses can use their paid sick time or vacation time. After an employee exhausts their sick and vacation time, their leave is unpaid. At that point, employees can discuss short-term disability with the Leave Specialist.
Employees may use up to twelve (12) sick days annually (minus any sick days they may have taken for bereavement, parenting for foster care, or family illness not covered by FMLA leave) for family medical or family military service member leave. After the employee exhausts their vacation time, their leave is unpaid.
