The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for family members or because of a serious health condition of the employee.

• A. Friend's time off
• B. Employee
• C. Neighbor
• D. Contractor

Answer: (B)

The concept here is who can take FMLA leave. FMLA provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for family members or for the employee’s own serious health condition, but only for eligible employees of covered employers. People who aren’t employees—such as a friend, a neighbor, or a contractor—don’t have FMLA rights, so they aren’t the ones who can take this leave. The person who can use this leave is the employee (assuming they meet the eligibility requirements like duration of employment, hours worked, and the employer’s coverage).
