Practice question
A private-sector victim has a pending VAWC prosecution and submits the proper prosecutor’s certification that the action is pending. She seeks covered leave for attending legal proceedings. The employer demands a final conviction first. Is that additional prerequisite correct?
- Yes, leave exists only after conviction
- No, the IRR recognizes pending proceedings and the proper certification for compliance
- Yes, unless the victim is a manager
- Yes, because prosecutors cannot issue the specified certification
- No, because no proof of any kind may ever be requested
