Antiwork

My employer is demanding my newborns birth certificate even though I didn’t take paternity leave(because my employer doesn’t offer it)

More than anything I want to know why hr is hounding me for it. I took a week of paid vacation off for when he was born. I got a call a few days before I was gonna take the time off from hr saying word got to her that I’m having a baby. She said I’m eligible for fmla and she’d just need my sons birth certificate. I said I wasn’t planning on taking unpaid leave, her response was ‘well send it anyway, you never know.’ I’ve been back to work for 4 weeks now and they’re still hounding me for it. I’m starting to suspect my employer gets some sort of tax break if they categorize my paid vacation as fmla leave. What gives?
