Can I use more than one type of leave at the same time?

Quick answer
This article explains how leave types can overlap. Employees can have overlapping leave types for separate leave reasons at the same time, or overlapping leave types for the same leave reason, such as a reduced schedule leave paired with intermittent leave to cover unexpected flare-ups on the same dates.

Who this applies to / Prerequisites

• Employees with more than one concurrent leave need, whether for different medical/family reasons or the same reason.

Key facts

1. Employees can have overlapping leave types for separate leave reasons — for example, a 6-month intermittent leave for migraines that overlaps with a separate 2-week continuous leave to care for a family member.
2. Employees can have overlapping leave types for one leave reason — for example, an 8-week reduced schedule leave for pre-scheduled physical therapy appointments, plus an 8-week intermittent leave for the same dates in case additional absences are needed for flare-ups.
