9.21 Compensation During Leave

FMLA leave is unpaid.  However, if the employee has accrued vacation and/or sick days, they are required to substitute this paid leave for all or part of any otherwise unpaid FMLA leave.  In order to use paid leave for FMLA leave, employees must comply with the College’s normal paid leave policies.

Any paid leave that is used during the FMLA leave will run concurrently with FMLA leave, and will not extend the leave to which the employee is entitled.  Similarly, time during which an employee is off work for his or her serious health condition and is receiving workers’ compensation benefits or disability benefits will run concurrently with FMLA leave.
