Just had a reference request for an employee who is moving on, few standard questions, then there’s this:
“Number of days of parental leave days taken in the last 5 years (18 years for a disabled child) and specify in respect of which child this leave was taken.”
Are they even allowed to ask this?
I have a child with some issues that require some appointments etc to deal with and I know this employee is in a similar boat. Can they even ask for this information and potentially discriminate based on the response?
