Read the July 2023 edition of the JAN Newsletter as it features information about pregnancy and job accommodations and highlights a new federal law, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). The PWFA requires covered employers to make reasonable accommodations for qualified applicants and employees unless they cause an undue hardship. It extends reasonable accommodation rights to workers with known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. The law also establishes clearer guidelines and accommodation obligations for employers. This helps ensure that workers are not treated unfairly or forced out of work due to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.
