Episode 25. Pregnant Workers Fairness Act: Employers' New Obligations to Accommodate

Join us as we unpack the implications of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act in this informative episode.

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which went into effect in June of 2023, is a new Federal mandate which significantly expands employers’ obligations when it comes to making accommodations for pregnancy, child birth, and related conditions. Noteworthy elements include a long list of “related medical conditions” that could now be covered aside from pregnancy itself, and the unusual obligation to excuse employees from their essential job duties as an accommodation. Jennifer Strait (Complete Payroll) and Emily Martin (Ally HR Partners) break down the full details and what you need to do in response in this latest episode!
