Just being through the process myself, I didn't have any issues getting the time off, as long as HR had at least 30 days notice. Agree with you, not having any type of pay when on FMLA sucks. In hindsight I should have I used some of my vacation earlier in the year which I could have shifted into my FMLA. Would have taken some of the sting out of losing a few weeks of pay.
