1. Iowa Summary Iowa is one of only a few states that requires ?
preferential treatment for pregnant employees with regard to time?
off. The Iowa Civil Rights Act requires employers to grant ?
unpaid leave to employees who are temporarily disabled because of?
pregnancy or related medical conditions, even if similar leaves ?
are not granted for other temporary disabilities, and even if the?
leave is not available to the employee under any health, ?
temporary disability, or sick leave plan. State law also contains?
special provisions for nursing mothers. |
