New law that requires covered employers to provide “reasonable accommodations” to a worker’s know limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless the accommodation will cause the employer an “undue hardship.”
The PWFA does not replace federal, state or local laws that are more protective of workers affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions
Some examples of reasonable accommodations for pregnant workers: – The ability to sit or drink water – Receive closer parking – Have flexible hours – Receive appropriately sized uniforms/safety apparel – Receive additional break time to use the bathroom, eat, rest – Be excused from strenuous activities
