As sad as it seems, it depends on the terms and conditions of her emplyment. What does the contract she signed with her employer stipulate? That is what the judge will look at although she might get a favourable judgement if her contract runs contrary to labour laws. A good lawyer will give a better advise when all the facts are known.
