Family and Medical Leave Act
Darla has been working for Defense Plants, Inc. for over 15 years as a receptionist and customer service person.

Unfortunately for her, the new CEO is unwilling to allow her to leave without penalizing her. He has acknowledged that there is a Family and Medical Leave Act, but he says she will be demoted when she returns to a lesser job, which is also lower paying if the company is required to give her leave.
