Question: do you have to use vacation time while on fmla?
Answer: The FMLA only requires unpaid leave. However, the law permits an employee to elect, or the employer to require the employee, to use accrued paid vacation leave, paid sick or family leave for some or all of the FMLA leave period. ... When paid leave is used for an FMLA-covered reason, the leave is FMLA-protected.
