Question #3 (5 points):

Jeri is a sales manager for Drip Faucets. She is about to have a baby and wants to file for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.

1. What information will you need to know to determine whether she is entitled to leave (note that we already know that she has a triggering event, i.e. being pregnant).

3. How does the statute benefit and adversely impact Drip? (Note, this answer isn't in the text. I am looking for your own thoughts.)
