(Pregnancy News) ‘Pregnancy not ground for extended job hunt’ (Saipan Tribune)

Labor Administrative Hearing Officer Jerry Cody denied a transfer extension requested by Xiu Yun Zhao, who was then pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy on May 12, 2007. Cody said the record showed that Zhao did not make a good faith effort to find work as she only visited one employer during the entire 45-day period she was given to transfer to a new employer. On the last day of the transfer period, Zhao submitted a request for a hearing on her request for an extension of the transfer period. The Labor director’s position, as stated by Labor counsel during the September 007 hearing, is that unless there is some unusual circumstance or condition involving the pregnancy, an extension of the standard 45-day transfer period should not be granted. read more
