Legal Alert – Reminder: Pregnant Worker Protections Start This Week
Authored by Gammage & Burnham attorneys Rubi Bujanda and Richard Mahrle.
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) goes in effect this Tuesday, June 27, 2023. The PWFA requires employers with 15 or more employees to provide reasonable accommodations to employees and applicants with known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition. Modeled after the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the PWFA uses the same definition of reasonable accommodation and does not require that employers provide accommodations that cause an undue hardship. Like with the ADA, covered employers must participate in the interactive process if they receive an accommodation request from a pregnant worker.

As the world slowly returns to “normal” employers still are subject to a number of requirements and recommendations to address COVID-19. On March 24, 2021, by Executive Order 2021-06, Governor Ducey lifted mandatory restrictions or requirements that had previously been in place to prevent COVID-19 exposures, leaving companies to exercise their discretion in how best to comply with mandates to provide a safe workplace.
What precautions should employers keep in place? Does it matter if employees are vaccinated?
