Situation 2:
Mr. Timothy Jose is the human resource supervisor of Letra Printing Company. The credit and collection manager, Mr. Gilbeys Cruz scrutinizes the top 3 applicants. Mrs. Gina Maculangan is the top one among the applicants so she was hired for the position. Mr. Jose informed Mrs. Maculangan that she was hired. As a requirement of the company, Mrs. Maculangan must secure medical certificate and NBI clearance. Unknowingly, she is 1 month pregnant as shown in her medical certification.
Mr. Jose informed Mr. Cruz that Mrs. Maculangan is pregnant. Mr. Cruz was so disappointed because it may cause delay of works if Mrs. Maculangan will take maternity leave soon. He decided to decline the hiring of Mrs. Maculangan due to her pregnancy. However, Jose didn’t agree on Mr. Cruz’s decision because the job order was already accepted by Mrs. Maculangan.
