Question 2

Explain the leave provision under FMLA.

Accepted Answer

Under FMLA, leave may be taken all at once, or in certain cases, intermittently, or the employee may work at a part-time schedule. An employee or the employer may choose to substitute paid leave such as vacation or sick leave for part or all of the FMLA leave if the employee is entitled to such paid leave. The employee's ability to substitute paid leave is determined by the terms of the employer's normal leave policy. Under certain circumstances, the employee may take the leave on an intermittent basis. If the leave is for planned medical treatment, the employee must make a reasonable effort to schedule the medical treatment in order to avoid unduly disruption of the employer's operation. If both parents are employed by the same employer, the leave because of childbirth or to care for a sick child may be limited to a total of twelve weeks between both parents.
