Working 2 jobs and FMLA?

I work 2 jobs. One full time M-F 8-5 and one part time job in the evenings and on Saturdays. My wife is giving birth in November and I plan to take FMLA form my full time job. Can I collect FMLA and still work at my part time job or will I need to take time off from both to collect it?

Update:

FMLA is paid through the state of California not your employer.

    FMLA and the CFRA are paid by the employer, unless you are paid by the state. You are entitled to unpaid leave if you are a full-time employee having worked for 12 months and at least 1250 hours. There are many websites that provide information regarding these programs from the Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division and the Department of Fair Housing and Employment in California.

    Your employer can require you to use any unused vacation time during the FMLA period. While it is possible to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year and have your job protected, it may not be considered necessary by her providers that she and your newborn have that level of care, and they must fill out the forms for FMLA.Your medical and dental coverage is continued during this period.

    You can take FMLA from one job while continuing to work another, as it may not be necessary for you to be present at those times.

    Unless you work for a state agency, you should discuss these issues with your human resource department, as each company has it's own requirements regarding paid vs unpaid time.

    Being paid while on Family Leave is up to your company. Not all companies are obligated to abide the FMLA.

    First and foremost what you do at one job is not the other employers business. Yes. You can legally do this as one leave from one job has nothing to do with the other. Do not discuss this with HR as I am certain they will blow a bunch of smoke up your ****. Take the leave in the very manner you have planned and I repeat there is no need to disclose what you do at one job with another.
