Common Misunderstandings About FMLA
The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows eligible employees to take up to 12 workweeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons. However, it does NOT provide salary while you are absent.  Your accrued sick leave (followed by accrued vacation leave upon your request) will maintain your salary while you are out on FMLA. Also, employees cannot waive their rights under FMLA. If your absence qualifies for FMLA, your supervisor, with Employee Relations assistance, must observe and apply this law. If you would like know more about FMLA, see http://www.policies.emory.edu/4.73 and http://hr.emory.edu/eu/askhr/employeerelations/employeerelations.html.
