The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act went into effect on June 27, requiring employers to provide “reasonable accommodations” to pregnant workers from pregnancy through the postpartum period, including time off to recover . . . unless such accommodations would lead to an “undue hardship” on the part of the employer.
Employees no longer must prove they should be accommodated. Instead, the onus now is on employers to work in good faith with workers to provide those accommodations.”
