[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.

D sounds like the one that's not true. Pregnancy-related benefits should be available to all employees, not just married ones.

Because the Pregnancy Discrimination Act prohibits discrimination based on pregnancy, so employers must provide the same level of health benefits for spouses of male employees as they do for spouses of female employees.

I'm going with C. Providing different health benefits for spouses of male and female employees just doesn't seem right to me.

I'm pretty sure B is the correct answer. Refusing to hire a pregnant woman because of the leave needed is definitely not allowed under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act.
