During FMLA leaves, however, employees will generally be paid available, accrued paid time -- such as sick days, XXX hours, or vacation hours -- for otherwise unpaid FMLA leave, to the degree that taking paid leave under such circumstances is consistent with Operator policy. Eligibility for leave is not dependent on the number of sick days or benefit hours available. If receiving compensation due to time off from an EHSI on-the-job injury, an employee will not receive any other compensation.
