Yes. Employees continue to accrue vacation time while on protected leave of absence, including pregnancy and parental leave. However, it’s important to note that the specific terms of vacation accrual and pay may be outlined in the employer’s vacation policy and employment contract. Therefore, it’s important to review your employment policy regarding vacation pay during parental leave.
