FMLA & Worker's Comp

Can you run FMLA concurrent with a worker's compensation claim/leave in the state of Florida?

The act itself gives the employer the option of running FMLA concurrently with other types of events. The employer has an option of doing that and crafting its policy to state such. FMLA can run concurrently with disability leave and comp leave. I don't know that there is a Florida specific wrinkle that would preclude it. I imagine there is in California and other foreign countries, but not sure of Florida. If you have a State Department of Labor, they would know. Also your workers' comp commission would know if there is a prohibition. Part of this response is going to get me in trouble but I could not resist.
