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.
Your employer is not required to pay you for fmla, but is required to hold your position.
To qualify for paid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), an employee must work for a covered employer, have at least 1,250 hours of service in the past 12 months, and have been employed for at least 12 months. Employees can take FMLA leave for specific family and medical reasons, such as the birth of a child or a serious health condition. While FMLA itself does not provide paid leave, eligible employees may use accrued paid leave, such as sick or vacation days, during their FMLA leave. Employers are required to inform employees of their rights and obligations under FMLA upon request.
In New Jersey, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) itself does not provide paid leave; it guarantees job protection for eligible employees who take time off for specific family or medical reasons. However, employees may choose to use accrued paid leave, such as sick days or vacation time, during their FMLA leave. Additionally, New Jersey has its own Family Leave Insurance program, which provides partial wage replacement for those taking leave for family or medical reasons, but this is separate from the FMLA.
No. FMLA clearly states "Covered employers must grant an eligible employee up to a total of 12 workweeks of unpaidleave during any 12-month period..."
FMLA is a federal entitlement, the same in every state. If you worked for the employer 1 year, you can have up to 12 weeks or 480 hours of FMLA leave if need is certified by a doctor. Leave need not be paid.
FMLA requires your employer to hold your job open - for employers with more than 50 employees. If your employer lays you off while on maternity leave, you can apply for unemployment insurance. There is no requirement for paid leave at any company, regardless of company size. Short term disability insurance is the best way to create maternity leave income. It covers your normal maternity leave, and more.
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.
How much do Juvenile Probation Officers get paid in Texas?
Employers are required to continue group health insurance coverage for an employee on FMLA leave under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave. For example, if family member coverage is provided to an employee, family member coverage must be maintained during the employee’s FMLA leave.

I was injured on the job but did not miss work. Must I file for FMLA?
Texas doesn't have a maternity leave law. Instead, the law state uses the FMLA, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1933 to provide leave for prospective mothers and fathers.
