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.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees up to 12 workweeks of unpaid leave a year, and requires group health benefits to be maintained during the leave as if employees continued to work instead of taking leave.
