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.
