FMLA is set up to protect your position if you need to leave for health reasons, or for family emergencies or care. It is not a paid program. The only way to receive pay during FMLA, is if you have enough Benefit time(sick, personal, holiday). Short term disability is an insurance policy set up by the employer to pay you if you are unable to work due to illness, surgery or followup treatments. It's in your best interest to go on short term disability and at least receive a partial salary. Unless you have a LOT of benefit time saved up, you won't get paid at all. But when you recover, you'll still have a job.

Does Family Medical Leave and Pregnancy Disability Act run concurrently?
It appears you are asking about the California Family Medical Leave and the California Pregnancy Disability Leave Acts. You are entitled under the pregnancy disability leave act to up to 4 months of unpaid, job protected leave for a disability due to pregnancy complications, and to recover from your delivery. Once you have recovered the family medical leave act permits you an additional 12 weeks of unpaid leave to bond with your baby. They do not run concurrently under these scenarios.
Are jobs obligated to give you time off when it comes to college and family and medical issues?
There are some allowances that are required (see Family Leave Law), and most businesses give a few days for funerals of immediate family members. Medical issues are handled using your available sick time and/or short term disability. However, none of these will cover frequent absenses for college or other family issues (ie sick children), since your employer has hired you for a particular job that needs to be done, and if you are absent, it will not get done. Even the most forgiving and accomodating employer will need to have you present and working most of the time.
Can an employer offer unsolicited personal or family advice and withhold medical benefits because the employer doesn't approve of employee lifestyle?
