Is anyone able to clarify for me if you can use accrued vacation time with an unpaid personal LOA?
I've been out using sick time (as directed by HR) and told to call in a few days to discuss whether I needed to go on an LOA, and that if so would be approved with no problem. I did not get a straight answer about the use of accrued time though. At the moment, I have 170 hours combined of personal/vacation time, so this would obviously put my mind at ease over having to take more time off.
I'll be calling them, of course, but I'd like to weigh my options first. Anyone have firsthand experience with that specific leave type?
(I have a medical concern but no official diagnosis, and am unwilling to see a doctor given the circumstances. Too many cases of Covid-19 in my county. I assume I can't get FMLA without a diagnosis. Hence the Personal LOA.)
