At the heart of the debate about labels is a conflict about whether a marriage between same-sex partners is the same as or different to a marriage between opposite-sex partners. Proponents of legalising same-sex marriage argue that the sex of the partners in a marriage is irrelevant to the nature of the union.
If an employee is on FMLA, can they use say 20 hours of vacation, annual or sick leave per pay period to simply cover the costs of their benefits if they are considered a full time employee who typically works 80 hours per pay period.
Key changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act will take effect March 8, according to the Department of Labor. Theyâll affect how just about every employer handles FMLA leave.

The DOL clarified that the increment of FMLA leave time remains the same as the time increment used by the employer for other types of leave.
