Shannon and Elizabeth are co-workers. They are both pregnant and due around thanksgiving.
Shannon works 5 days each week, for a scheduled eight-hour day. Elizabeth works Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday only and on those days is scheduled for eight hour days. Therefore,
Shannon is entitled to 12 workweeks based on a 40-hour schedule, and Elizabeth is entitled to 12
workweeks based on 24- hour schedule.
All absences are calculated as fraction of the employee's individual schedule. For a traditionally
week, with no holidays, if Shannon takes one-eight-hour day, she has taken 1/5 of workweek
( also calculated as 20% of a week). If Elizabeth also takes one 8-hour day, she has used 1/3 of a
workweek (also calculated as 33% of a week) as she is only scheduled 3 days.
Elizabeth takes off Wednesday through Friday the week of Columbus Day, when the office is
closed on Monday. What fraction of the week has Elizabeth taken? - ANSWER
One week- Elizabeth does not work on Tuesdays or Thursdays, so her absence was only Wed &
