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.
the family and medical leave act applies if company has how many employees?
There is no paid FMLA in Texas. Only two states offer paid family leave at this time: California and New Jersey. The best way to get paid for a family leave is to purchase supplemental insurance in advance of a family medical situation arising. Most of these programs are voluntary, so it cost your employer nothing to provide you this option.
Keep in mind that usually life insurance through your employer does not leave with you when you leave work. So if it is 10 years and you decide to leave, you will at that time have to get your own individual life insurance. Now you are 10 years older and your height and weight could be different and you could have medical conditions. Yes, it is a good idea to get life insurance in addition to your work insurance. This way you will be covered at a younger age.
is my employer allowed to tell a lender that I have been using paid medical leave
Yes an employer can terminate an employee if the employee is abusing medical leave. However, if the employee is using FMLA, then they are likely protected.
In the U.S. there is a law that is called the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). If your employer did not follow the law in your instance of family 'emergency' you could have action taken against them.
Yes, failure to pay will result in termination of your insurance. If you don't pay for any of the insurance, the insurance cancel will reverse the payments they made to the hospital and doctors and you will have to pay full-price for the childbirth and subsequent care.
Most likely not, as long as your employer is bound by the FMLA and you have been with the Employer long enough.
The answer may depend on the dates when you were on FMLA leave as the law underwent some changes and is date dependent. In general, insurance may only be canceled if insurance payments were not made. But for this to occur, the employer must give you advanced notice that this will occur due to nonpayment.
