Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 Claudette- Hello! When you apply for FMLA, there are different things your employer can stipulate. They can require you to take part or all of your paid leave first before you use unpaid leave. I have paid sick and vacation time I earn every year, so I must take that first if my leave is approved. Once that is used up, you can take unpaid leave. FMLA (if approved by your employer) protects your job- but doesn't guarantee you money. Good luck to you if you go that route. - I have also submitted my paperwork to my employer. I understand they have hired an attorney, and I had to sign a release last week for my employer's doctor to contact my doctor. I am very nervous about getting it approved because I am almost out of paid leave. Keep me (us) posted about your situation too! Good luck! Kristi claudette hudson wrote: Hey! E-body. When you apply for FMLA, is there any money coming in from the job b/c of FMLA, or is it up to the individual company to either pay you something or not?

My boss actually recommended it to me when I first told her of my Fibro dx a year ago, but I didn't apply until June when I had to be off for related problems. Thanks for any info you can share.
