Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Revised the 1964 Civil rights legislation by ensuring that pregnancy is an illness and that pregnant workers in protected organizations must be handled on an equal footing as workers with other health conditions.

  • People need to be judged for their ability to execute the work, so managers may not set specific deadlines for compulsory leaves of maternity.
  • Deadlines of leave shall be dependent upon the willingness of the person pregnant employee to operate.
