章节摘录
Q： How much leave am I entitled to under FMLA? A： If you are an "eligible" employee， you are entitled to 12 weeks of leave for certain family and medical reasons during a 12-month period. Q： Which employees are eligible to take FMLA leave? A： Employees are eligible to take FMLA leave if they have worked for their employer for at least 12 months， and have worked for at least I 250 hours over the previous 12 months， and work at a location where at least 50 employees are employed by the employer within 75 miles. Q： Does the law guarantee paid time off?. A： No. The FMLA only requires unpaid leave. However， the law permits an employee to elect， or the employer to require the employee， to use accrued paid leave， such as vacation or sick leave， for some or all of the FMLA leave period. When paid leave is substituted for unpaid FMLA leave， it may be counted against the 12-week FMLA leave entitlement if the employee is properly notified of the designation when the leave begins. Q： Can the employer count leave taken due to pregnancy complications against the 12 weeks of FMLA leave for the birth and care of my child? A： Yes. An eligible employee is entitled to a total of 12 weeks of FMLA leave in a 12-month period. If the employee has to use some of that leave for another reason， including a difficult pregnancy， it may be counted as part of the 12-week FMLA leave entitlement. Q： Who is considered an immediate "family member" for purposes of taking FMLA leave? A： An employees spouse， children （son or daughter）， and parents are immediate family members for purposes of FMLA. The term "parent" does not include a parent "in-law". The terms son or daughter do not include individuals age 18 or over unless they are "incapable of self-care" because of mental or physical disability that limits one or more of their "major life activities" as those terms are defined in regulations issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Comission （EEOC） under the Americans With Disabilities Act （ADA）.
前言
《全明星英语》立体化系列教材是在麦格劳-希尔公司出版的All-Star系列教材的基础上，结合中国成人高等教育英语教学的实际改编而成的。改编后的《全明星英语》系列教材无论是教学内容还是教学方法都更加符合我国英语教学的实际需要，不仅为成年人学习英语提供了难得的好教材，同时也适用于高职高专英语教学。 原书是为了专门帮助美国文化水平较低的成年人，尤其是外国移民，提高他们的英语基本语言技能而编写的教材，编者多是有多年教学经验的教师。全书所涉及的技能有： 1.语言文字技能：听、说、读、写语言技能；基本语法和发音技能以及运用和演算数字的技能； 2.处理日常生活的语言技能：涉及消费、环境保护、家庭和子女养育、政府和社区、合作、利用资源和服务、健康和营养、人际交往、学习策略、安全保卫、电话通讯、时间和货币、交通和旅行等诸多方面； 3.劳动就业语言技能：涉及应用技术、保持就业、求职等诸多方面。 在改编过程中，我们坚持突出All-Star的“大图”（Big Picture）特色，同时保持了其在听说活动和会话策略方面的优点。在此基础上我们另做了一些调整，从而更好地满足中国学生学习英语的需求。具体改编内容如下： 1.为了便于初学者学习，在第一册中增加了指示语、会话和课文的中文译文； 2.为了配合各单元的主题内容的训练，增加了英汉互译练习（Supplemental Translation Exercises）； 3.为了更有效地训练语法内容，在第一册中原教材语法训练内容前面增加了简要的中文说明，便于学习者掌握语法规则； 4.每单元后面增设了词汇表（Words & Expressions），方便学生进行词汇学习。
