Practice question

An otherwise qualified employee seeks solo-parent leave in addition to available statutory leave. Management proposes deducting the days from that other entitlement solely because all leaves must share one bank. Which wording matters?
  1. Section8 grants parental leave in addition to existing-law privileges
  2. The Act abolishes separate entitlements
  3. Every leave must be charged to one bank
  4. The employee can never hold two different leave rights
  5. Solo-parent leave is merely another name for sick leave
