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.
Note: The FMLA provides time off from work due to an employee's disability, while the NJFLA does not. Therefore, it may be possible to use FMLA covered time for disability without reducing NJFLA time in connection with the birth or adoption of a child or the serious illness of a parent, child or spouse.
