Navigating Compliance with the Final Regulations to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

About the Program

April 15, 2024 marked a significant milestone with the final regulations and interpretive guidance to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (“PWFA”) issued by the EEOC. This Act, designed to complement existing federal anti-discrimination laws, mandates that covered employers must offer reasonable accommodations to qualified employees or applicants with limitations due to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, provided such accommodations do not pose an undue hardship on the employer.

Join our speakers as they explore the nuances of this guidance and provide practical insights to assist employers in effectively navigating the new regulations. With the June 18, 2024 effective date approaching, our speakers equip employers with the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure compliance with the PWFA and understand the differences among the PWFA, ADA, PDA, and FMLA.
