The executive leadership of ACME Company, Inc. believe they can

the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Currently, the company’s policy
on FMLA is as follows: for an eligible employee ACME provides up to 15
weeks of leave per year for covered conditions and they also provide 25%
paid leave. ACME employs 750 people with an average per person salary
of $50,000. Annually, ACME averages 10 employees out on FMLA. All
employees on FMLA use the full 15 weeks annually. Leadership decides to
