Situation A. Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for themselves or a qualifying family member for a specified family and medical reasons, also known as FMLA (February, 2015). The Family Medical Leave Act only applies to employers that meet the required criteria. Covered employers under FMLA are public and private elementary and secondary schools, public agencies and…

State of California is one example of how much resources go into an adverse action case. Jason Lamboy was written up for a couple of incidents. “The first was for timesheet falsification. Second adverse action was for misuse of family crisis leave. The third Adverse Action at issue was for alleged use of excessive force. The fourth Adverse Action at issue was for allegedly authorizing the release of inmate workers when such release was prohibited by a Program Status Report ("PSR")”( Lamboy v…

The Family Medical Leave Act permits qualified employees of a covered employer to take off from the job for specified family and medical purposes while their position at work is safeguarded. The employee takes the leave with continuous health insurance coverage, with all the same terms and conditions, just as if the employee was still at work (Gómez-Mejía et al. 2016). For the law enforcement officials, they must be employed at the job for twelve months with one thousand two hundred and fifty…

Enacted in 1933 by the Clinton administration, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides unpaid time off to assist employees in balancing work and family life. The act supplies up to a total of twelve weeks of unpaid leave during any twelve month period to specific employees. While the establishment of the act has helped some employees balance the demands of work and family, a recent increase of family-leave lawsuits in our country have demonstrated the FMLA’s need for improvement.…

Going through the quiz, even after reviewing the FMLA, it was not as clear cut as I thought. An employee has the right to apply paid sick leave or vacation time towards the FMLA time, as long as the business notifies the employee that it is company…

I met Carl in the hanger the following day with a full, happy stomach. Sally had slipped me another fruit and nut bar with my oatmeal. The sugar in the fruit must have given me a high because I felt myself smiling. I was disappointed I didn’t see Evan at breakfast, but when the thought that I would be his wife tomorrow popped up it almost made me giddy. Carl was his usual horrible self. He barked at me to move the compartments again. It took me most of the day to move them all, but it was…

As the emotional person that I am, I have so much love to offer in every relationship I enter. One of the strongest bonds that I have is with my family. They have always been so supportive of me and for that, I love them. My family hit a rough spot when my parents got a divorce in 2009. It was a very challenging time for all of us. Although this is true, it only brought us closer together after we had come to terms with the situation. My family and I have grown together and through the ups and…

Remember when you couldn’t wait to grow up? Remember when you envied the big kids? I do. I recall those thoughts as if they were yesterday… but as you get older everything starts to change drastically. Lollipops turn into cigarettes, homework goes in the trash, phones are used in class, soda becomes vodka and detention becomes suspension. Remember when getting high meant signing in the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? Dads’ shoulders were the highest place on earth, mum was…

What is more important, funding the arts or sports? This is a tough choice that is very common in schools throughout the U.S. Most school boards would look at this question and quickly give the answer of, “Sports are more important because the majority of the school likes going to games and supporting the athletes. Art class is just a place for students to doodle, and most of them just take that class because they don’t have anything else to do.” Even though not every student enjoy playing…
