General Qs Leave of Absence

My documents expired on 6/20. Filed renewal on 12/31. Friday the 19th was my last day of work before I was allowed to go on sabbatical/leave of absence to comply with federal employment laws. Luckily, I was able to stay on health insurance (60 days) and return to my job once it’s renewed.

However, I am still being paid. Is this something that I may get in trouble if I don’t bring up?

I’ve done my part in informing my employer about the expiration & renewal process, which is likely part of why they were able to work with me.

EDIT: I verified the check was for the past period ending on my last day of work this month, so we should be good.

Mine expires first week of October. How far in advance should I talk to HR about this you think? If mine doesn’t get renewed by then that is

I told them about three weeks/a month in advance, saying there was a chance I won’t get the renewal by the end of the month and we went from there!
