I am on H1B and I just had a baby. I have taken short term disability and 6 weeks of FMLA. For the rest 6 weeks of FMLA, can I use it 2 days/ week and work 3 days/week?
-Up to you and your employer
Do I need to file amendment to change H1B status to partime?
-Not need.
If I can go back and use FMLA as I planned, company will maintain the pay rate but will remove the 401k and pto such (company policy) during this period. Will this be considered payment change thus status change?
-No. You are fine.
