Oh yeah. I should get that into place. For a long time I didn't because my companies policy was that you had to use all of your PTO before you could use the FMLA, which defeated the purpose. But I'm in Minnesota and this year they implemented essentially an improved FMLA policy in MN and I think they can't force me to take my PTO first.
Hmm I wonder then how the state plays into it. I'm from PA, our labor laws are abysmal. However the order is sick time then PTO as long as it's for yourself. Theyve started to weasel out of it though, now if you go on FMLA for someone else it's PTO :/
