		<description><![CDATA[FMLA does not really work on an accrual system &#8212; it is all or nothing.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a simple question with a deceptively complex answer.
Under the federal FLSA or Fair Labor Standards Act, a salaried employee can be either exempt, or non-exempt. Exempt employees are paid the same salary every week, regardless of the quantity or quality of work performed. Exempt employees are never entitled to overtime, even if they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, the employee will qualify for FMLA to take her daughter to prenatal doctors appointments and no the employee will not qualify for time off to care for the baby, unless she is the babys legal guardian.
The FMLA permits an employee to take time off to provide physical and psychological care for a close family [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is extreme liability here for the employer. If the employee loses her baby, or her health suffers due to working, then you as the employer could be liable for that. This could be a multi-million-dollar lawsuit.
You should immediately stop this employee from working (even in the middle of a shift if necessary) and not [...]]]></description>
