Read Frequently Asked Questions

 

The less than one-year-old federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) requires most employers with 15 or more employees to provide “reasonable accommodations” for a worker’s known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless the accommodation will cause the employer an undue hardship.

The PWFA went into effect on June 27, 2023, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) began accepting charges based on violations of the Act on the same day.

On April 15, 20204, the EEOC issued final regulations to the PWFA, providing important clarity to employers so they can better understand their duties under the PWFA.

The final regulations were approved by majority vote of the EEOC on Apr. 3, 2024 and will be published in the Federal Register on Apr. 19, 2024. The final regulations become effective on June 19, 2024.

Why Should You Attend:

Failure to comply with the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and its new regulations comes with significant financial consequences.

Penalties vary, encompassing minor fines for smaller infractions to substantial monetary consequences for severe or repeated breaches. Additionally, non-compliant employers may potentially face legal action from employees who claim they aren’t being appropriately accommodated and/or are being discriminated against on the basis of pregnancy.
