Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

TRSA Members: FREE | Nonmembers: $45

On June 27, 2023, a new law that requires covered employers to provide “reasonable accommodations” to a worker’s known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless the accommodation will cause the employer an “undue hardship.”

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) applies only to accommodations. Existing laws that the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces make it illegal to fire or otherwise discriminate against workers on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.

The PWFA does not replace federal, state, or local laws that are more protective of workers affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. More than 30 states and cities have laws that provide accommodations for pregnant workers.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about PWFA directly from the EEOC and the impact it may have on the industry.
