Since we have over 75 employees, we must comply with FMLA. Mr. Poppy qualifies for FMLA, as he has been employed with us for over 12 months and he has worked more than 1250 hours. Although he is permitted to take up to 12 week off of unpaid leave and enabled to return to work a week earlier than anticipated, withheld salary is denied for the 11 weeks leave taken.
