June 27, 2023: Update Your EEOC Poster to Ensure Compliance with the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

  • By Kerri Beatty

As a reminder, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (“PWFA”) goes into effect on June 27, 2023. The PWFA requires employers to post a notice describing the various protections under the new law. On June 27, 2023, employers must remove their old EEOC “Know Your Rights” posters and replace them with the updated version, which can be found here.

As we previously reported, the PWFA requires employers with more than 15 employees to make reasonable accommodations for workers or applicants due to limitations caused by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions unless doing so would impose an undue hardship.  The PWFA extends the accommodation requirements of the Americans with Disability Act (“ADA”) to pregnancy and childbirth.

The PWFA also prohibits employers from (a) denying opportunities to women based on their need for reasonable accommodations, (b) forcing qualified employees to accept an accommodation other than a reasonable accommodation arrived at through an interactive process, and (c) requiring an employee to take leave (unpaid or paid) if another reasonable accommodation can be provided.

Should you have any questions regarding the new law and/or how you can ensure compliance with same, please contact Ali Law Group.
