No. If a non-work date (eg, holiday, school vacation, weekend, etc.) occurs during your 6 weeks of parental leave, it is included within that time frame and will not extend the duration of your leave. Non-birth parents who must start their parental leave on the date of the event will do so even if that falls on a non-work day (other than summer vacation for school year employees). However, if you are a birth mother who is using your CAR/sick time for a six (or eight, for C-sections) week recovery period after birth and prior to parental leave, paid holidays and vacations can count toward that time without charge to your CAR/sick time.
