On December 22, 2022, President Joe Biden signed the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), a law that gives reasonable accommodation to pregnant and postpartum workers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For many, especially those working in low-wage and physically demanding positions, it’s long overdue. Much like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), this act provides job security for workers and provides them with protection while participating in certain activities.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019ll look at some of the specifics as to who the PWFA applies to when it goes into effect, and what the PWFA covers explicitly. Then, we\u2019ll share more info about employee rights under this act, information about existing <\/span>federal employment laws<\/span><\/a> affecting pregnant workers, and tips for HR and employers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
