By: Alan E. Seneczko, Esq. and Peter E. Hansen, Esq. One of the biggest, and most problematic differences between the Wisconsin Family Medical Leave Act and the Federal FMLA is the right to substitute paid leave for unpaid leave under the FMLA. Under Federal law, an employee can only substitute paid leave if it is otherwise applicable.
Under FMLA, employees can receive up to 12 weeks of leave in a 12 month period. FMLA leave may be taken for the employee's own serious health condition to care for a spouse, parent or child with a serious health condition, or to bond with a new baby or newly fostered or adopted child.
