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.
Save. The Family Medical and Leave Act is a federal law granting 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year to eligible employees. Eligibility depends in part on how many hours an employee has worked during the previous 12 months, meaning part-time employees might not be able to take FMLA time. Employers and employees should keep accurate records of employees' hours to verify FMLA eligibility.
