Description: On December 29, 2022, President Biden signed the bipartisan Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) into law. It became effective June 27, 2023. The PWFA requires covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to a qualified employee’s or applicant’s known limitation related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, absent undue hardship on the operation of the business of the employer. The PWFA allows workers with uncomplicated pregnancies to seek accommodations, recognizing that even uncomplicated pregnancies may create limitations for workers. This class provides managers/supervisors, and HR professionals with the knowledge necessary to respond to and appropriately address accommodation requests, engage in the interactive process, determine and provide reasonable accommodations, recognize prohibited practices, and avoid retaliation and coercion claims under this new law.
