Joe's grandmother took Joe in and raised him from infancy. Joe is now employed for your company. His grandmother needs a serious operation on her eyes and will require constant monitoring and help 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Joe asks for 6 weeks unpaid leave from his important job to provide care for his grandmother. Your boss comes to you – "Are we legally obligated to grant Joe unpaid leave and guarantee him his job?" Write a short memo to your boss explaining the company's obligations under the Maryland State Law and FMLA and answering his question. Offer your own opinion as to whether Joe should be granted unpaid or paid leave. Please make memorandum 200 words and state what references you used at the bottom of the memorandum. Do not forget to include memorandum format at the beginning of the memorandum. Also, please DO NOT forget to explain the company's obligations under the Maryland State Law, as well as FMLA. Please read instructions thoroughly. I have provided a few references below. Thanks!!!
