首先，法律上沒有paid family leave，隻會是公司政策，如果是這樣，那麽你要去問公司。
其次，如果你說的是FMLA，那是unpaid。12 weeks in a 12 month period. 所以如果你上一次是6/1開始，你下一次也要從明年6/1開始算。申請什麽時候都可以遞交，但是真正的leave要看12 month period，而不是calendar year。

- for the birth of a son or daughter, and to care for the newborn child;
- for the placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care, and to care for the newly placed child;
- to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent — but not a parent "in-law") with a serious health condition; and
