My official last day is August 29

I submitted my FMLA papers today and my last day is August 29.

Since I have vacation days, my leave will officially start on Sept 5.

I hope gives me some time to relax before his arrival

yippy skippy!

Re: My official last day is August 29

i am confused. are the rules different in FL than NY? i am not allowed to start FMLA leave until the day that arrives, but i can take my own time, or unpaid leave, before then.

either way i am jealous!! enjoy your leave

Re: My official last day is August 29

LB:The Family and Medical Leave Act was amended on January 28, 2008.

According to FMLA rules
Employers may require employees to exhaust accrued vacation, sick leave, or personal leave before taking FMLA leave.

I have 3 vacation days and they will be used Sept 2, 3, 4 and FMLA will begin on the 5th.

Time taken off work due to pregnancy complications can be counted against the 12 weeks of family and medical leave.

Check the Department of Labor laws and with your HR. My HR has no problems with my leave beginning on the 5th.

Now I have to get my Aflac short term disability stuff ball rolling

hrmm

I was told complications are considered STD.

Which is why if I left early I wouldn't lose any FMLA time. FLMA time starts at birth and secures my job for 12weeks, period (nothing really about pay of course)

But I am required to use my Sick Days before any STD pay kicks in (which is what I'm paid while out on STD or FMLA)

Bottom line, it all worked out for me cuz I could leave 2weeks prior to my due date and be on STD and not burn my FLMA time. Then AT birth FMLA started whenever that may be.

Hey! What's up with changing the rules 2 weeks after I went out on leave? (my fmla started January 11, 2008). That's just wrong!

But yay for you, Melissa!! I hope you get a nice little rest in before he comes.
