New Mexico amends family and medical leave rule

An employee may elect, or an agency may require the employee, to substitute any of the employee s accrued annual leave, accrued sick leave, personal leave day, accrued compensatory time, or donated leave for any part of unpaid FMLA leave. Also, if a paid holiday occurs within a week of FMLA leave, the holiday is counted towards the FMLA entitlement. However, if an employee is using FMLA in increments less than one week, the holiday does not count against the employee s FMLA entitlement unless the employee was otherwise scheduled and expected to work during the holiday.
