You are an employee relations specialist at ABC Company, which has 250 employees. Wilma Worker, the company’s receptionist, has worked at the Company for three years. She is a good performer, but has had some minor performance issues in the past six months. Wilma asks to meet with you to discuss her request for maternity leave. During your meeting, Wilma says she would like to take eight weeks of maternity leave as of August 30, and then take the remainder of her leave in one-day increments using one day each week so that she can spend more time at home with her baby. Later, Wilma’s supervisor, Sarah Supervisor, stops in to see you because Wilma has told her about her maternity leave plans. Sarah doesn’t know what to do because it’s a very busy time of year.

Part 1 of your assignment is to write a memo to Sarah Supervisor outlining the requirements of Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) as they apply to Wilma’s request and whether Wilma is entitled to the leave she requests. (50 points)

Part 2 of the assignment is to write a one-page letter formally responding to Wilma’s request for leave. (20 points)

Is Wilma entitled to FMLA during this time? Why? What other requirements apply to this leave that do not apply to leave after the birth of her child? (30 points).

What would you do in the following situations?

  1. You walk into a new job and find that there are hundreds of accounts payable checks sitting in drawers. At this point you have no idea how much cash is available and you must meet a payroll of $100,000 in 2 days. Where would you start? What would you do?
  1. You are faced with the last days of a computer conversion and you are receiving calls that people have paid their bills, yet were not being credited for the payments. You later find no copies of receipts, yet the patients sent you copies of theirs. You know there was theft. How do you address it? How do you prove it? There were 4 people who had signed receipts. The total stolen was $10,000. Do you report it? Do you handle it yourself?
  1. Imagine that you are the administrator of a nonprofit community hospital. You have been approached by medical staff from two different departments (for example, pediatrics and radiation therapy) who are equally convinced that their respective areas of specialty need major new pieces of high technology capital equipment that will greatly enhance patient care in each department. Knowing your hospital has limited resources for capital expenditures, what information do you need to gather? Once you have gathered this information, how will you go about deciding which department, if either, should get the equipment?
  1. You are the nursing supervisor responsible for general medical/surgical units consisting of 50 beds. For the first time the chief financial officer has asked you to prepare a budget for your area of responsibility. Describe the process you will use to accomplish this task, including the information you will need, and the important steps in the process.
