Unpaid sick leave during J1 waiver

Hi,
My wife had to take 1 week sick leave which was unpaid.

how would this be accounted in J1 waiver ?

can she do 1 week overtime to make up for it ?
OR
she has to file 1-week extension after the 3 year period is over ,which is painful?


Appreciate your help,
thanks
 
she is going to have to file an extention to make up for it,most times though the visa expiration usually a mnth or two earlier than the j1 expiration so she would have needed an extention anyway
 
hadron others

it would be interesting to know if anyone has consulted a lawyer this isuue of unpaid sick or FMLA during NIW, what are the legal aspects , esp, if its a short duration like one or two weeks,

should not be a problem, as long as it is with employer's permission, and your employer isn't hell bent on hurting you.
