Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Family and Medical Leave Act allows for a total of 12 weeks of unpaid leave, but only one employee from a married couple is eligible to take the leave for the same reason (such as caring for a newly adopted child). In this case, since both Sean and his wife want to take leave for the same reason, only one of them would be eligible to take the full 12 weeks.
