Multiple Choice

Which of the following is true regarding Gracie's entitlement to be paid for time she is medically required to be off for pregnancy?

• E) Courts have ruled that employers only have to pay employees for time they are medically required to be off for pregnancy if the employee handbook provides for such payments; and Gracie is, therefore, not entitled to paid time off.
