Hospitality Law – case study

MODULE 5 Writing Assignment:

This is an individual assignment. The class is broken down into five “Groups” each containing twelve members. The assignment depends on what group you are in.

You must do your own work and use Turnitin. I will not accept any paper that has   “similarity.” See Syllabus. I will also not accept papers that fail to properly cite to sources.

Like all papers you’ll submit, formatting is: 1” margins all around, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font. No headers, extra spaces between paragraphs – none of the little tricks that take up space.

This time, you answer 3 out of 5 questions. There is a 1 page minimum per answer…which equates to an “average” score. As always, if you want a better score…do more than the minimum work required. I can tell when a student has done the work and when they have waited until the last minute to throw something together. Don’t be in that latter group.

Group 3 Members:

There are three (3) mandatory “eligibility” requirements for employees wishing to take FMLA leave. First, in your own words, identify those three requirements in detail. Then, locate a case where a court ruled that the employee did not meet one of the three requirements and explain the court’s reasoning.

Group 3 Members:

Employees wishing to take FMLA leave can do so for a variety of reasons. First, identify the most common reasons an employee may request FMLA leave. Then, describe what steps an employee must take to request FMLA leave. Finally, what must an employer do when presented with a request from an employee? May an employer deny FMLA leave, and if so, when?

Group 3 Members:

FMLA leave requires a “serious health condition.” First, in your own words, describe what has to happen before it be determined that an employee, or a family member of an employee, suffers from a “serious health condition.” Then, find a case where an employer challenged whether an employee or family member actually suffered from a “serious health condition” and explain the court’s decision and reasoning.
