The amendment added that the employee\u2019s health conditions shall also be taken into account and in case of any change in his\/her health status the employer will be obliged to adapt working conditions and schedule accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>The amendment makes it clear that the above procedure shall apply also for <strong>pregnant women or mothers with up to 1 year old babies who present a doctor\u2019s certificate <\/strong>on changed health conditions.
