But, for what it is worth: The FMLA law says that the entitlement is 88 days per year of unpaid time off. It also says you must work at least 1250 hours to be entitled to FMLA time off. FMLA time from one year does not carry to the next. It is earned each year. However, any illness that is approved one year, can be carried to the next, and that time may be FMLA approved. She would have had 18 days remaining on the previous allotment of time, because that time off was approved for the same reason. Since she is caring for an ill parent, the FMLA time can be approved. The disadvantage is that employee is not at work when needed. It also means that any other employee who asks for similar time off should have it granted. The department risks having no one there to do the work. Either the department must hire temporary help, or put the work off on the other employees. I have seen such requests granted. It was in a Union environment, so each case should be taken on its merits. First, it sounds like you should ask in homework help, or do your own work.
