It depends. If you have enough sick time and or vacation time to cover the leave, you can use that. If not, no the employer does not have to pay you. I assume that you are out on FMLA.
Family Medical Leave Act (FLMA) the person sick would have to be sick enough to require frequent assistance form the family member requesting FMLA. I would said probably not.
Possibly. While the FMLA only gives you time off work and it does not entitle you to wages, you dp have the right to request that you receive any vacation pay or sick leave pay if you have any accrued.
FMLA is a type of license and insurance for those who are in the medical profession. It basically guards them from certain malpractice claims where consent was given.
There are no legal requirements for sick leave days in the United States. Some companies who are required by the FMLA Act have to allow their employees unpaid sick leave. Under the FMLA employees are entitled up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave under certain circumstances.
Do not understand what the phrase "backup" is referring to. However - FMLA guarantees that you will be able to collect the pay you may have coming to you (via accrued vacation/comp time/sick leave), and guarantees your position, for the length of the FMLA absence.
No. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides for 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12 month period. Your employer may allow you (or require you) to take vacation or sick leave to cover the time, or may offer a short term disability insurance plan, but there is nothing in any of the federal laws that mandates payment during FMLA leave.
Yes, consult with you employer for FMLA forms and short term disability coverage.
