Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is E - employers can exempt the highest-paid 10 percent of their workforce from the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act. This exemption is intended to avoid undue burden on employers with highly paid executives or other key personnel, who may become difficult to replace if they take extended leave. All other options listed (A-D) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the criteria for exemption under the FMLA.
