When does FMLA actually begin?
Took a vacation day for own personal use but my surgery was the next day following, I work two on and two off and every other weekend so I thought my FMLA would physically take place on the day I could not work due to having surgery and not being able to report to work on my next day scheduled to work. Lost my job because human resource counted my vacation day as being first day of FMLA instead of my next day that I needed to report to work due to having surgery. Need help understanding.

Generally speaking, an employer violates the FMLA by designating days as FMLA covered that are not, in fact, FMLA days. That violation becomes serious when it results in a job loss, which can happen if you need the FMLA day later on.
