Were you a manager at ATT? Just curious.
No, not a manager. But I observed at least two employees get paid while on FMLA. I believe it has to do with company policy regarding sick leave/pay. The employee knows how to work it to their advantage; usually the pay comes out of the disability fund, if I am not mistaken. That's as much as I know. And it was usually for job "stress". Another employee took time off to care for a sick relative. She didn't get paid for her time off.
