Practice question
An employer asserts closure as the operational reason for a transfer but supplies only unreliable unsupported material, while the evidence establishes pregnancy-based pressure. It argues relaxed labor evidence rules require unquestioning acceptance of its explanation. Which is best?
- Relaxed rules make every employer assertion conclusive.
- The legitimate-ground claim still requires reliable substantial support.
- An unsigned label always proves closure.
- The employee’s maternal circumstances must be ignored.
- No transfer can ever have a legitimate reason.
