Practice question
A female employee with sufficient service takes leave for treatment of a non-gynecological condition without surgery. Does that fact alone qualify for the RA 9710 special surgery leave?
- Yes, every illness of a woman qualifies
- No, the specified surgery due to a gynecological disorder is not established
- Yes, if the employee calls it special leave
- Yes, whenever ordinary sick leave is exhausted
- No, because women may never receive paid medical leave
