Episode: “Highlights From New PWFA Regulations: What You Need to Know”
Description:
Longtime host Ari Kwiatkowski is back, fittingly from
maternity leave, to discuss the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA)
regulations. The PWFA requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations
for known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, and associated conditions.
In this solo episode, Ari provides an overview of the law, its requirements, and
what constitute known limitations, qualified employees, and reasonable
accommodations. The episode also covers lactation accommodations as well
as a current lawsuit against the EEOC.
