Video 1: FMLA
This situation would fall under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) because Susan
was absent from work for 3 days to care for her ill father in the hospital. The FMLA requires
employers with 50 or more employees to provide eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of
unpaid leave per year for their serious health condition or to care for a spouse, child or parent
with a severe health condition. As in Susan's case, caring for an ill parent is a qualifying reason
under FMLA.
Video 2: ADA
This situation would likely fall under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) because
Susan's supervisor was not willing to accommodate her need for time off to care for her ill father
in the hospital. The ADA prohibits employment discrimination against qualified individuals with
disabilities and requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with
disabilities. Since Susan's father's medical condition seems to qualify as a disability under the
ADA, the employer should accommodate Susan's need for leave unless it creates an undue
hardship for the employer. Simply following the handbook policy without looking into the details
violates the ADA.
Video 3: Workers Compensation
This would not qualify for workers' compensation since the injury or illness did not arise
out of and during employment. Workers' compensation provides benefits for employees who
suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. Susan's father's medical condition is unrelated to her
work and thus would not be covered by workers' compensation. Her absence from work would
also not be covered since it was not due to her work injury or illness.
In summary, Video 1 relates to FMLA leave to care for a family member, Video 2 relates
to reasonable accommodation under the ADA, and Video 3 does not qualify for workers'
compensation since the illness was not work-related.
