Join EEOC for a Free PWFA Webinar for Workers May 21, 2024, 12:30 p.m. ET Register: https://lnkd.in/eiZKJ2HS The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) requires most employers with 15 or more employees to provide “reasonable accommodations,” or changes at work, for a worker’s known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless the accommodation will cause the employer an undue hardship. At the webinar, EEOC lawyers and staff will discuss workers' rights and employer responsibilities under the law and the EEOC's final regulation, which goes into effect June 18, 2024. You'll learn who’s covered, what types of limitations are covered, and what are and how to request reasonable accommodations. Submit questions and accommodation requests to newsroom@EEOC.gov and add "PWFA Webinar" to the subject line. More information about the PWFA and the EEOC’s final rule, including resources for employers and workers, is available on the EEOC’s “What You Should Know about the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act” webpage.
