In his article, “The Four Factors of Motivation”, Brian Tracy states, “There are four factors that exist in every organization and determine the levels of motivation of the staff, whether positive or negative”.

His company has only 30 employees, instead of the 50 required, therefore they are not required by law to provider FMLA for Steven, even if he met the other criteria.
I am a proponent of the FMLA law and deal with it quit frequently as a manager at my company. I do not agree however with the law’s restrictions around being employed for 12 months. I feel that in the case of Steven, he should be eligible for FMLA. Knee surgery is not a planned event and I do not feel he should have the added stress of worrying about losing his job and benefits due to something that he has no control over. While I wholly support adoption, I feel that Steven should receive the same benefit as
