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?

AIf an employer provides any benefits to workers on leave, the employer must provide the same benefits for those on leave for pregnancy-related conditions.

BAn employer is allowed to refuse to hire a pregnant woman because of the imminent time frame of the needed leave to deliver and care for the child.

CEmployers must provide the same level of health benefits for spouses of male employees as they do for spouses of female employees.

DPregnancy related benefits cannot be limited to married employees.

Show Suggested 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.

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.
