Most of our government runs on good faith, and the 'rules' don't actually exist. And if they do, who fucking cares? Andy is in charge of the state. He makes the rules. Period.

Just for starters...

The FMLA protects leave for:

A serious health condition that makes the employee unable to work

You would really like to think that folks in /c/ProgressivePolitics are familiar with the most basic workplace protections afforded sick or injured workers.

Please, if FMLA is the only problem just cut him a check for the wages and the benefits he would've been entitled to and fire his ass. Worse things happen to better people all the time in this country.
