The law - as I understand it - is actually silent on this issue. It is determined by Company policy. Some employers, particularly those with 'paid time off' benefits, will allow you to use accrued sick time when FMLA leave is to care for a family member. In the airline industry it is rare.
ummm....i am currently on FMLA, however I am using it for myself (MED leave section 9 in the contract) not only can you use sick time, YOU HAVE TO! and you get paid for your sick time. also, you can use vacation time if you have any left AND you can use vacation you've accrued for next year if you so choose. the company would not mind selling you next years vacation at this years rate.
Have had two kids at ASA and you can use your vacation but not sick time. Todd M. is a great guy and will help you out with any questions.
FMLA (the real gov't one) is not available for airline employees due to how your work time is calculated. Since you are capped at 100 hrs per month you don't work enough to meet the official requirements. HOWEVER, your contract may have it's own version of FMLA for you. It will differ at each company. My husband is at Eagle and has to use his vacation, if there is any left, during his leave. He can NOT use sick leave.
