FMLA applies regardless of the employee requesting leave or taking leave with a reference to FMLA. If you request paid leave under a paid sick leave or vacation pay policy the leave may still be covered by FMLA protections. In this case, the employer should acknowledge the FMLA protections even if you do not mention FMLA or even insist the employer not count it against your FMLA leave.

FMLA leave use

An employer can count your medical leave as FMLA even if you are using PTO to get paid for it.
