Practice question: Solo Parent Leave (RA 8972, as amended by RA 11861)

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A solo-parent employee leaves several statutory parental-leave days unused this year. Without a separate more favorable agreement, the employee demands automatic accumulation into an indefinite leave bank, arguing that all statutory leaves have identical carryover rules. Which is correct?
  1. All paid leave must accumulate forever
  2. Unused solo-parent leave automatically becomes maternity leave
  3. Every unused day must become ordinary overtime
  4. The employer must convert every leave type into SIL
  5. The amended solo-parent benefit is forfeitable and noncumulative; another leave’s rules cannot automatically be imported
