Practice question
A qualifying solo parent has completed eight months in a private company and presents the required documentation for leave to attend a responsibility where presence is beneficial to the child. The company invokes three blanket policies: only government employees qualify, service must reach one year, and only regular employees may apply. Which is best?
- All three policies accurately state the amended law
- The company may select whichever old restriction is strictest
- Private-sector employment defeats any claim automatically
- The amended provision covers qualifying employees in both sectors regardless of status after at least six months; those policies cannot supply the stated denial
- Only the parent’s income determines every leave request
