Pregnancy protection and accommodation are in the news. In April 2024, the EEOC issued its Final Rule—some 400 pages—on the implementation of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). Under PWFA, employers may have to temporarily suspend the essential functions of a job to accommodate an employee’s quest for coverage.
Under the rule, employers will have to allow employees and applicants to take time off and provide other workplace modifications for pregnancy, childbirth, abortion, and other medical related medical conditions, including care for current, past, and potentially future pregnancy, the treatment for fertility and infertility, the use of contraceptives, the termination of pregnancy-- including abortion, nausea, vomiting, and pregnancy-related conditions, including lactation, and menstruation.
In addition, the reviewing the PWFA, this webinar will review key issues under other federal laws that apply to workers affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, including Title VII, the ADA, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers (PUMP Act),
