Explanation
- With this Act, it is possible and entitled that the employees have up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for child birth, adoption, to care for a close relative in poor health, or because of an employee’s own poor health which is mainly meant to ensure that the health of such people is safeguarded and given highest priority.
- On the other hand, it is the EEOC agency which requires one to file a Charge of Discrimination with us before you can file a job discrimination lawsuit against your employer
