The company does not have to pay at all for FMLA. It's unpaid leave, but the point is that one's position is protected under the law.

What you just described appears to be the exact opposite of FMLA, because there's nothing to deduct, it's unpaid. If she doesn't work the hours, she wouldn't get paid anyway.

And, the whole point of the act is to protect the position. In your examplpe, it appears they broke the law twice.
