FMLA is unpaid leave. This is a major oversimplification, but it’s so an employee can take an extended leave from work and return to their job afterwards. And even though it’s unpaid, there are still a lot of limitations on it.

Maybe the company I work for is going above and beyond then and just calling it that because there’s definitely a paid version of FMLA I’ve seen people use. Even for shorter periods and intermittent health problems.

  That’s what it sounds like to me. Well, actually, it just sort of sounds like your company is calling normal paid sick leave “FMLA”. It’s nice to have, regardless of what it’s called, and very sad that it’s not a given everywhere.
