Does parental leave run at the same time as FMLA?

Yes. If leave qualifies for parental leave, paid parental leave, and/or FMLA, the leave counts against the employee’s entitlement under any applicable laws. Parental leave, paid parental leave, and FMLA leave shall run concurrently to the extent permitted by law.

See Section 6.12 for more information on coordination with FMLA.
