Must I use accrued time during my FMLA leave?

If you have accrued sick leave, you will be required to use your available paid sick leave during your FMLA absence, you have the option of using available vacation leave in lieu of your sick leave (Police Department staff: sick leave usage is not required per CBA).

If you do not have any accrued leave, you can take unpaid time. You will continue to accrue sick and vacation leave if you meet the minimum compensated hours per month.
