Apologies if this isn’t the right place to ask this but I’ve learned a lot here and it feels like it fits.
We are expecting in less than a month. Wife and I work at the same company. FMLA for a child birth says you share the 12 weeks.
But FMLA also says if you end up hurt and unable to do your job then you can take FMLA that does not count towards the combined 12 weeks bucket.
My question is this: assuming my wife uses 12 weeks of FMLA for child birth and I use 0, if I get unlucky and have an accident and can’t work does this mean I’m out of FMLA or do I get my own 12 weeks for my own health?
