Practice question
A small private establishment decides on its own that a lactation station is unnecessary and declares itself permanently exempt because it has few women employees. It has neither applied for nor obtained a competent determination. Which analysis follows RA 10028?
- Few women automatically create a permanent exemption.
- A manager's memo replaces the required determination.
- Small workplaces are outside every labor law.
- The Act contemplates an application and competent determination based on workplace circumstances, for a renewable two-year exemption; size alone does not self-exempt the establishment.
- An exemption must always last for the life of the corporation.
