Pregnancy Accommodations (PWFA)
Request for Pregnancy accommodations
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) is a new law that requires covered employers to provide 鈥渞easonable accommodations鈥� to a worker鈥檚 known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless the accommodation will cause the employer an 鈥渦ndue hardship.鈥�
The PWFA applies only to accommodations. Existing laws that the EEOC enforces make it illegal to fire or otherwise discriminate against workers on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.
The PWFA does not replace federal, state, or local laws that are more protective of workers affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. More than 30 states and cities have laws that provide accommodations for pregnant workers.
