Скачать или смотреть Pregnant Workers Fairness Act – Heavy Lifting

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) is a new law that requires most employers to provide “reasonable accommodations,” or changes at work, for workers who need it due to their pregnancy or pregnancy-related medical conditions. Some examples of accommodations pregnant or recently pregnant workers could ask for are extra bathroom breaks, the ability to telework, a uniform that fits differently, leave to go to medical appointments, permission to sit while working, and more. The accommodation just cannot cause great expense or hardship for the worker’s employer.

The EEOC began accepting charges of discrimination on June 27, 2023, the day on which the PWFA became effective.

If you think you’re being discriminated against because of your pregnancy or medical conditions related to pregnancy, the EEOC is here to help. For more information on pregnancy discrimination, please visit https://www.eeoc.gov/pregnancy-discri....
