  Family Medical Leave
If the employee is requesting a leave of absence for the care of a child after the birth, adoption, or placement of that child in the employee's household, he or she may use accrued vacation leave or leave without pay concurrent with family leave.
If the employee is requesting leave for the care of a child, parent (excluding in-laws) or spouse who has a serious health condition, he or she must use accrued sick leave, accrued vacation leave, or leave without pay concurrent with family leave.
If the employee is requesting leave because he or she has a serious health condition that renders him or her incapable of performing his or her job, the employee must use accrued sick leave, then vacation leave or leave without pay concurrent with family leave.

 Family Leave   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Paid family leave may be taken for maternity, paternity or adoption of a child, for a serious health condition of the employee or to care for a family member with a serious health condition, as provided for under the FMLA.
The intent of the leave donation program is to allow employees to voluntarily provide assistance to their co-workers who are in critical need of leave due to the serious illness or injury of the employee or a member of the employee's immediate family.
In addition, an employee who is leaving the firm may transfer all their accrued sick leave or vacation time to the co-worker in need.
