Can someone tell me how FMLA works for management and non management? Are they paid or unpaid days?

An employee must have at least one year of service with the company and a minimum of 1,250 hours worked during that period.
If you’re not in the office, you’re not working and you won’t get paid.
IF you are a T employee, then you must know there is a ton of information and form on HROS. You are not the sharpest to be asking on this forum!!
To become FMLA eligible, your primary care physician must complete forms and document your condition, and the amount of time, usually in hours, you have off for your medical condition per week or month. FMLA is doctor renewed every 6 months. For management, the time is paid, non management/union, unpaid. Doctors usually charge $80 to have their office complete a form (insurance doesn't cover the paperwork cost). If you submit to T and it is incomplete, you have to go back to your doctor to have corrected (usually another $80). For non-management, if you exceed the number of hours authorized they count as attendance points. And no, you can't have the doctor resubmit for the same time period to cover your excess time). It's up to the ee to monitor their FMLA time available. And most important, you have to work a minimum number of hours per year to be entitled to FMLA. Call HR and ask for your eligibility status. They will tell you hours worked. And remember your FMLA time is not included in hours worked per year, so the more you use, the longer you may have to wait before your eligible again.
Why is everyone here so dim witted? It’s just a law that protects them from being able to fire you if you need to take an extended time away from work due to medical or family issues. Whether you get paid while you are or out or not has nothing to do with FMLA. That will depend on how much PTO you have. If you are out on a work related injury, that’s what workers compensation is for, a non work injury or illness could by partially covered by short and or long term disability insurance.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for specific family and medical needs, like bonding with a new baby, caring for a seriously ill family member, or recovering from their own serious health issue, ensuring health benefits continue and their job is safe upon return. It helps workers balance work with family responsibilities and covers situations for birth, adoption, foster care, personal or family serious health conditions, and military family needs.
You don’t have to wait until tomorrow to find out , just go to your closest liq-or store ( may have to wait until the sun goes down since they are nocturnal) and ask any black person and they can give you any detail about FLMA you need answered.
FMLA has nothing to do with pay. It protects the time off from discipline.
FMLA is paid for non management IF it’s directly related to your personal illness.
discretionary vacation days.
Are they paid or unpaid days?
