"Is FMLA leave paid or unpaid?"
The basics of qualifying for FMLA leave:
You are only entitled to FMLA if you worked for a company for at least 12 months, and a minimum of 1250 hours, working at a company and location which has at least 50 or more employees within 75 miles.
Oh yeah, you also need to have a qualifying medical condition.
That being said, FMLA leave is unpaid leave. Meaning, no, you don't get paid.
FMLA protects your job for up to twelve weeks, but your employer does not have to pay you during that period.
However, short term disability or accrued PTO can be used to provide a revenue stream to help protect your revenue stream during the time off work.
So generally - FMLA protects your job but there won't be money coming in.
Knowing the law and what you are entitled is the KEY to not being surprised or manipulated by your employer.
Employees have rights in the workplace and employers can't violate these laws without consequence.
