Pregnant Workers Fairness Act: Final Rule for the PWFA

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) is a crucial federal law that guarantees pregnant workers are provided with reasonable accommodations, ensuring they can continue their jobs without jeopardizing their health or employment. This act applies to employers with 15 or more employees and prohibits retaliation against workers who request accommodations due to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. Through an interactive process, employers must work collaboratively with employees to provide adjustments such as modified duties, flexible schedules, or reassignment, ensuring a safe and inclusive work environment.
