Looking for some feedback from somebody who has used FMLA lately. Can we use FMLA intermittently to drop individual trips or do we have to establish the dates of leave in advance? My wife and I have a little one on the way and I'm trying to figure out if it makes more sense to go the FMLA route or just use sick/vacation time to get the time off I need. Looking for the best way to take about 2 months off paid/mostly paid. I have one week of vacation scheduled the due month and another week the month after.
