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.
What is the FMLA? The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 was designed to help employees balance their work and family responsibilities by allowing them to take reasonable unpaid leave for certain family and medical reasons. The FMLA gives certain employees the right to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year.
