PWFA
The Pregnancy Workers Fairness Act has added “ADA-like” language. Just passed in December with the budget bill. Yes, we have a Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Some may consider this redundant. No matter what you think- here comes the law and PWFA 101!
Different than The Pregnancy Discrimination Act in 1978 that prohibits employers from denying jobs or other opportunities, due to pregnancy , childbirth or related medical conditions.
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act would allow pregnant workers to continue working by ensuring they can have accommodations such as additional bathroom breaks, light duty, or a stool to sit on if a worker stands all day.
