Don't you think that's good for you?

What if you got fired? Unless your union or your own contract guarantees you will be paid accrued leave no law requires them to pay you.

FMLA is not a guarantee of continued employment. Employers eliminate positions or terminate employees for other reasons. Most of the time they need no reason at all.

Be glad you are getting paid because if your job is cut you may never see that money.
