Are faculty and staff required to use up their available paid sick and vacation leave time during their FMLA leave?
Yes, the policy provides that employees must use available sick, compensatory, and vacation leave for which they are eligible to use under the contract, rule, or policy governing the reason for the leave. Note, however, that employees need not exhaust their entire vacation balance during an FMLA leave; they may choose to keep a balance of and not use up to ten days of vacation leave.
