Shelia,

Have your husband apply for Family Medical Leave. He is qualified to take 12 weeks off -without pay, but his employer is required to continue his benefits. It is a Federal program and his employer has to grant him this leave.

He may also apply for intermittant leave ie: as necessary. That way he has one entire year to use up his 60 days. That way he doesn't have to use up his vacation.

Some states such as California provide up to 6 weeks of paid family leave.

Warnest Regards
Joe
