Can I Stay Home from Work with My New Baby?

Excerpt: According to Marcia McCormick, an associate professor at St. Louis University School of Law and an editor of the Workplace Prof Blog, one of the biggest misconceptions about FMLA is that it is paid leave -- it isn't. FMLA only guarantees that your employer holds your position for you for 12 weeks. While some employers offer more generous parental leave plans that include paid time off, they are not legally required to. 'If you do have some kind of paid leave -- like if you have sick leave or vacation leave -- you can opt to substitute some of that paid leave for the unpaid leave,' she says. 'Or, your employer might require you to use your paid leave as part of your FMLA time period.'
