Does FMLA guarantee paid Time Off?

No. The FMLA only requires unpaid leave. However, the law does allow you to use accrued paid Time Off (such as accrued annual Time Off, accrued sick Time Off, or compensatory Time Off) for any FMLA absence. Accrued Time Off shall be used in accordance with UCF’s practices. If you expect to be unable to work for an extended period, you should consider filing a claim if you have disability insurance or file for Social Security Disability.
