HRCI SPHR Exam - Topic 6 Question 74 Discussion

Actual exam question for HRCI's SPHR exam
Question #: 74
Topic #: 6
[All SPHR Questions]

You are a HR Professional for your organization and you're educating your staff on the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Which one of the following statements about the Pregnancy Discrimination Act is not true?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Answer option C is correct.

A Notice of Contest must be filed within 15 days of the citation. The OSH Act requires employers to allow the CSHO to inspect the workplace (D). Employers may request variances until repairs are made (A) or for processes that provide equal or greater safety for workers. Employers may consult with OSHA to identify possible hazards without fear of a citation or penalty (B); but once a consultant becomes involved, the employer must abate any violations, or the consultant will refer the violation to an OSHA inspector.

Not sure about D, seems like some companies might still limit benefits to married employees.

I recall that the Act prohibits discrimination based on pregnancy, so option B seems like the clear false statement, but I need to double-check my notes.

I practiced a similar question about benefits for pregnant employees, and I think option A is definitely true, but I'm a bit confused about the implications of option B.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like all employees should receive the same benefits regardless of their marital status, which makes option D seem true.

The key here is to focus on the wording of each statement and identify the one that is not true. I think option C about providing the same level of health benefits for spouses is the one that is not accurate under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I remember the Pregnancy Discrimination Act has something to do with providing the same benefits, but I can't quite recall the details. I'll have to review my notes before answering.

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act requires employers to treat pregnancy the same as any other temporary disability, so option B is not true.

Okay, let me see. I know the Pregnancy Discrimination Act prohibits discrimination based on pregnancy, so option B about refusing to hire a pregnant woman seems wrong. I'll go with that.

I think the email body is the key area to focus on. That's where the main content and call-to-action are, so improving that could really boost open rates.
