FMLA is unpaid. You only get paid to miss work if you use your vacation time or if you had paid for short term disability insurance, otherwise you are fucked. I know a woman who was forced to return to work 6 weeks after giving birth because her leave was unpaid and she couldn’t afford to take any more unpaid leave
In the US right? FMLA? I was also out for about 6 months but received full pay, not 80%.

I did not need to use my vacation time and did not have short term disability. Sounds like my company did me a solid
