Pregnancy in the workplace is now covered by more protections than ever before—and it’s confusing for employers
Between the newly enacted Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) and the long-standing Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), navigating leave requests, accommodations and compliance can quickly become overwhelming.
The PWFA brings sweeping new obligations for employers with 15 or more employees, including accommodations from fertility treatments to postpartum recovery—and even temporary removal of essential job duties. What’s more, employees are covered from their very first day on the job.
Meanwhile, the FMLA imposes different requirements for employers with 50 or more workers. Unlike the PWFA, it’s not about accommodations—it’s about guaranteed leave. Covered employees are entitled to time off for pregnancy-related medical visits, childbirth, recovery and bonding.
So how do you juggle both laws without making costly mistakes?
In this practical and timely webinar, we’ll break down exactly what’s required under each law, where the coverage overlaps (and where it doesn’t) and how to stay compliant when managing leave and accommodations. You’ll learn when to provide FMLA notices, how to track pregnancy-related time off and which accommodations are legally required under the PWFA—so you can support your employees and protect your organization.
Webinar Agenda
Count time off as PWFA leave or FMLA leave, or both.
How the PWFA differs from the FMLA for pregnant workers.
Decide whether a serious health condition under the FMLA requires an accommodation under the PWFA.
