question 249

True/False

In just one year, Cheryl developed gall bladder problems and needed surgery; she became a single parent; she willingly moved her older mom in to live with her in order to avoid placing her in a nursing home; and she unexpectedly tore her rotator cuff playing softball. Generally, these are not considered circumstances that impact job performance because they fall outside of the workplace. HR managers need only be concerned with how Cheryl performs when she is at work.
