Abstract
Undergraduate and graduate students evaluated an employee taking FMLA leave. Results from this 4 (sexual identity) x 2 (organizational performance) design suggested a negative impression of employees when company performance was low. There was also a negative personality bias against homosexuals and a financial bias against transgender individuals taking leave.
