Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

Following the passage of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), new workplace accommodations for pregnant workers are now in place. This statute introduces a new class of qualifying employees who were previously not entitled to reasonable accommodations caused by the effects of pregnancy. The PWFA is a vital safeguard for pregnant workers and is applicable to all federal and state entities with more than 15 employees.
